What began as a spark in the heart of a teenage troublemaker saved by grace soon grew into a fire: expand the kingdom. Despite adversity of many varieties over the years, Pastor Steven McCullough answered that call, establishing more than two dozen churches across the world. TGSM is a local realization of that mission. Though he and his wife Jeannie retired in 2020 and remain our dear friends, his passion for ministry and missions is infused in our church, inspiring us to reach out to the lost, nurture and walk alongside those new to the faith, strengthen more established believers, and to heed the call so long ago ingrained in his heart to expand the kingdom of God.
We believe that the lead pastor of a church is responsible for the local church, to hear from the Spirit, and to feed and love God’s people faithfully. Advisors are appointed as needed by the pastor to serve as an official Advisory Board, which consists of no less than three members at any given time. The TGSM Advisory Board’s primary duties are to help the pastor care for the spiritual needs of the congregation and the material needs of the church, to empower the staff to carry out God’s vision.
Current board members include David Dick, Dan Garnand, Carolyn Hardt and Mike Brown.
