Witness Team Grants Available
Greetings, Holston Districts,
Each year the Witness Ministry Team sponsors a grant program for local churches called Church Program Grants. These particular grants are designed for local churches that want to begin a new program or programs specifically to reach new people and bring them into the ministry of the church; in other words, these are evangelism grants. They are not grants for salary, bricks and mortar, or sound equipment. They are not grants for feeding programs unless those programs have a specific component to reach new persons and bring them into the church. They are grants for evangelistic outreach.
The deadline each year is September 15. This year, the Witness Team has extended the grant deadline to October 15. Please consider churches in your respective districts that might be considering a new program to reach persons outside the church and encourage those churches to apply.
All completed applications must be received in the Office of Connectional Ministries no later than October 15. A copy of the application is attached or can be found online at http://www.holston.org/ministries/connectional-ministries/grants1/.
Thank you for assisting us in promoting this opportunity.

We are a Multi Site Church, one church in multiple locations. Our 1st campus is located at 225 Fulcher Street in Hillsville Virginia.

The most recent ministry we have is “Out Of The Box Worship Center” and we are located at 516 North Main Street Hillsville. This site is now my main focus, along with the Youth Ministry.
I have a Passion to see hurting people come to know Jesus Christ. I believe that we as Christians have to demonstrate God’s Love to the world, rather than just telling them they are loved. I am married and have 3 sons two very special nephews that are like sons, 3 grandchildren, 5 great nephews, and one great niece that are like grandchildren. I am a blessed man.
I attended school at Carroll County High School, Wytheville Community College, Liberty University, and Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.
