Testimonial from Pastor Stephen:

​

"Jesus chased me down on a street in New York City while I was pursuing a sexual addiction.  Jesus delivered me and asked me to follow Him only. For over forty-seven years my passion has been to follow my Redeemer only and help others learn how to follow Him."

​Pastor Stephen now loves being 75 years old and loves helping seniors grow in their personal walks in following Jesus!
