The church expanded into a multifaceted ministry that exists today. In 1990, Wayne co-founded Israel College of the Bible. He has invested much of his life in mentoring young Israeli leaders, many of whom are key leaders in today Israel’s Body of believers. His wife Ann has produced many Messianic music albums and continues to assist Israeli songwriters to compose and release new worship songs in Hebrew.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR LEAD PASTORS

We’d love to personally invite you to our Thrive Conference! As we step into a brand-new year, this is our moment to put God first—believing that when we honor Him at the start, He blesses every part that follows. This is how we truly thrive! We need God to thrive, and we need His presence to walk confidently into all He has ahead of us. We also can’t wait for you all to meet our dear friends, Wayne and Ann. They’ll be joining us to teach and impart rich wisdom about the Scriptures and God’s heart for Israel. Their insight, experience, and prophetic clarity will be a gift to our church in this season. We’re believing their time with us will strengthen your faith, deepen your understanding of God’s Word, and ignite a fresh passion for what’s on God’s heart.

We look forward to seeing you at Thrive Conference 2026!

Blessings,
Pastors Daniel & Gretchen
