From Pastor Daryle: “I accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior at the age of 9. When I was 18, I felt God calling me into ministry. I later realized He was calling me to Pastoral ministry. For nearly 22 years, I’ve been privileged to be called Pastor (along with a few other things). I believe in conservative theology and liberal service. Jesus has amazingly and wonderfully changed my life and I want others to know Jesus personally and the difference He makes in our lives. It’s all about Jesus”
