The message of The Mount is that Christ saves sinners. In light of that, we steward a message that radically changes lives. We will therefore preach, teach and train people to live out its implications in their neighborhoods.

1988
Under the leadership of Pastor Stewart, he shared his vision for a larger worship edifice which was well under way before his passing in 1986.

On Sunday February 7, 2016 with a sense of urgency of “changing the status quo”, Pastor Minnick casted Vision 2020 – to transform our mindset from charity to spiritually enterprising, by embracing the unlimited possibilities and opportunities available to us within the Kingdom of God.
