Our pastors are Dr. Warren & Suzanne Drake.  Warren began his ministry at the age of 17. After attending Bible College he served as an associate pastor in his hometown of St. Joseph, Missouri. In 1980 he accepted the pastorate of a small church in rural mid Missouri. The church grew and relocated to the nearby town of Lincoln, where it became one of the area's largest churches. After 15 years of ministry in that area, they (along with 2 of their 3 children) served as traveling evangelists and music ministers for 5 years. In August of 1999 they accepted the call to serve here as pastors.
For many years Dr. Drake served in leadership of the Anchor Bay Evangelistic Association, a fellowship of Independent/Charismatic ministers; serving as a board member, vice-president and for a short time as President. He has traveled extensively throughout the United States and abroad. He has received an earned Doctorate of Divinity from School of the Bible Theology Seminary in San Jacinto, CA and has recieved the unique distinction of being accepted into the honorable order of Kentucky Colonels. Dr. Drake is the founder and president of the Vision Resources Network, a ministry that helps ministers and those in Christian service incorporate modern technology into their ministry.
The Drake family came to this area with a vision and energy to reach those who are hurting and in need of God's love and help.
