What began as a spark in the heart of a teenage troublemaker saved by grace quickly grew into a fire that has burned for more than three decades of ministry.  That fire, that call, was as simple as it was profound. Expand the kingdom.  Despite trials and adversity, Pastor Steven McCullough has answered that call, Christ’s Great Commission, establishing more than two-dozen churches across the United States, Mexico, Chile, Thailand, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea.  Recently, he oversaw a multi-tiered expansion of our own church building; a construction project that doubled our Christian Education space.  More than addressing a practical need of a growing congregation, this expansion was specifically designed to support and further the discipling of children, teenagers and young families, while equipping more experienced leaders and mentors to share in a rewarding and encouraging multi-generational walk with Christ.  Yet even as his ministry continues to develop in exciting new ways, his mission, at home and abroad, remains the same: to help people come to know, to love and to serve Jesus Christ.  The Good Shepherd Ministries is a realization of that mission.  Pastor McCullough’s passion for full-family ministry, local outreach and foreign missions has multiplied throughout our congregation, allowing our church to nurture new believers, strengthen faithful followers, and heed the call that’s long been ingrained in his heart: expand the kingdom.
