The dream began with a mere six people meeting in the living room of a small apartment in 1990. Pastors Dennis & Colleen were inspired to be a catalyst to help transform people's lives with the love of Christ. From the very beginning, their goal has been to raise up a local church who will profoundly impact the world. Their greatest desire is to see that dream come to pass by helping each individual to experience a genuine heart transformation through a real relationship with Jesus Christ. The Rouses are deeply committed to encouraging each individual to reach their highest potential in Christ. They are determined to revolutionize as many lives as possible by focusing on building stronger families, transforming our local community through active participation, bridging the gap between the cultures, and impacting the world with the love and generosity of Christ.

Today, Pastors Dennis & Colleen have learned many life lessons throughout the course of their ministry. These lessons have enabled them to teach passionately, openly and honestly, sharing from both their successes and failures. They are especially passionate and active in international leadership training, missions and pastoral mentorships, as well as Men's and Women's Ministry. They continue to serve as the Senior Pastors to this day. They have enjoyed a rich and fulfilling marriage for over 25 years, and are dedicated parents to their college-aged daughter, Lauren. Above all, the Rouses' top priority is continuing to grow in the relationship with the Lord and seeing His Kingdom come to pass in their lives and the lives of those around them.
