About Our Pastor…
Elder Kenneth F. Owens Sr.
"Called into Service"
In Sunset on the Bear Camp a famous writer wrote:
"Touched by a light that hath no name
A glory never sung,
A loft on sky and mountains walls
Are God’s great picture hung."
The Gospel is God’s greatest picture. It portrays his love and grace given to a lost world; like all great pictures, it has many facets, each perspective, presents a message from God to the hearts of men.
Our pastor, Elder Kenneth F. Owens, these 12 years has helped us see this picture in a new light- hues and texture we’ve never seen before. As Paul said ,“And we who with revealed faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed unto his likeness with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
II Corinthians 3:18
