“We believe God wants not just to start a new church in Osawatomie, KS but to start a movement of discipleship. Jesus came to start a movement of the Holy Spirit that spread around the world and transformed people’s lives and the world. Today our cultural understanding of church is more about buildings than it is about people and a movement of God. We have are focus upon our faith and spirituality being more about our community rather than individuals.” – Pastor Dale Samuels""
