Who We Are
“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
Rev. Dr. Kenneth Blyth, Pastor
Pr. Ken’s Personal Ministry Statement: My Ministry is focused upon the worship life of the community and the care of souls (spiritual development, pastoral counseling and such like). I am likewise focused on the recruitment and training of congregational leaders, so that through such leaders, other members of the community might come to a deeper relationship with God. My leadership also seeks to foster a healthy, faithful, attractive and joyful Christian ethos: a way of living/interacting/serving. All beneath the cross of Jesus!
