ESTABLISHED 2026
Our Mission
To build an Altar to God as they did in biblical times in remembrance of who He is and what He has done for them and now for us. For us the Altar we are building is this church. We are dedicated to helping folks build their relationship with God as their Heavenly Father, Savior and Holy Spirit. We recognize that by putting God first His goodness flows down to you , in you and through you.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. NKJV
Our Vision
Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.
To follow His Lead (Its His Church). It is built on Him and not according to social or cultural norms which have been a detriment to the church and our nation.
To steward a church with biblical morals and principles that honor the Lord. It by no means will be subject to legalism or religiosity. To be a beacon of light in our city, county and region for the Lord. To nurture spiritual growth and unconditional love that transcends generations.
To enjoy our relationship with God as well as one another.
Pastor Matt & Jenny
What we realized, or should I say, what the Lord has revealed to us after the many years, places, different types of churches and ministries is that people go through stuff. It could be an addiction, a loss, a trauma, abuse or even church wounds. Whatever the case may be, it is the enemy's design to separate us from God. He is a thief and wants to rob us of what God intended us to be.
John 10:10
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
What God Has done for me and others He can do for you . Would you take the first step and come to the The Altar and meet God there?

Every body has a unique journey and everyone of them is important to God
Hey everybody here is a little bit about me and my awesome wife Jenny. Jenny has served in many areas in churches over the years from admin to women's ministry. We have served together in house churches, denominational churches and an independent church.
Pastor Matt: The Lord has blessed me with a variety of opportunities to serve over the years. Coming from alcohol and drug addiction to building businesses, losing them all and thinking of ending it all. One night in desperation I met Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. I repented of all my sins. I would like to say it was smooth sailing from then on but that was not the case. It takes a little time and that is where God's grace shows up and is evidenced. The Lord opened many doors for me to do overseas and domestic missions, to establish several nonprofits and pastor several churches over 30 years in New Jersey, Tennessee and now in Ohio. The first church was Recovery Church Ministries Inc in New Jersey. We referred to this church as the church of the least of these. The broken and hurting came in. We loved them and introduced them to God and the healing began. There's been many different assignments since those early years and many lessons learned.
We are so glad you are here. Also, sometimes it can be intimidating to try a new church. We are here to help you on your journey.
Our Services start with contemporary praise/worship music. Next, a message. We offer prayer and the altar is always open.
