Who We are

While our church has seen great ministry and solid growth in our past, the last three years, we have seen some unprecedented progress. In three years, we have more than doubled our leadership and serve team. This focused growth has helped us better minister to the people who call our church home. More than numbers, more than ministries, we remain focused on ministering to people and training people to minister. Our church is beginning to take steps to realize the vision that has been cast for the last few years of planting another place of worship in our region. As we look at our current location it's easy to see the need for more space. Whether it's Kids' facility,  small group rooms or our parking, one thing is certain we are full. For our church it's not about buildings, ministries or numbers. It's about each person getting personal attention and opportunity to be trained to live for God and serve God.  We desire to reach the unreached, and we know God has been preparing us for this. Pray with us as we look at locations in our region, as we work to pay down previous building debt. It's not a matter of if... It's just when/where.

Prior to serving at Park Hills Assembly they volunteered for 8 years and Jeremy served on staff for 12 years at Harvest Christian Centre in Park Hills.  Serving in kids ministry, youth ministry and also helping to develop a college ministry while at Harvest provided a wide range of ministry experience.  Over the last 20 years Jeremy's experience developing guest assimilation, speaking at school assemblies, pioneering Mineral Area College Chi Alpha, leading outreaches, and organizing multi-church events were essential in preparing him for his current role.

Katie Reed is an experienced kids minister raised up in the ministry. From an early age she experienced dynamic and spirit filled childrens ministry. Katie and our team of leaders, minister to children using puppets, costume characters, engaging worship and preaching. There are many great kids ministries but there are few kids ministries that lead kids into the presence of God. We want our new parents and our new kids to be completely comfortable. Parents are welcome to stay with their child in kids church for a few weeks, in an effort to help kids and parents feel comfortable.
