Who We Are
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE EVANGELICAL?
To be "Evangelical" means to believe in the importance of sharing the good news that through Jesus Christ the kingdom of God has been inaugurated, freeing people from the guilt and power of sin through personal faith and repentance. We express this priority on evangelism by stating it in our governing documents as the first work of the church. This priority is evidenced in our emphasis on church planting and world missions. Although the term, "evangelical" has come to have political overtones, our use of the term is in reference to the historic principles of the Infallibility of Scripture, Jesus as God's only provision for the salvation of humanity; and the mandate to take the gospel to our neighbors, communities, and the farthest reaches of the globe.

OUR PASTOR
Our Pastor, Edward Cummings, grew up in Northern California and has lived in the Yakima Valley since 1990. He has an undergraduate degree in Sacred Music and both Masters of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees. He has over 30 years of professional ministry experience which has ranged from very small to large congregations and also has served several years as a Hospice Chaplain/Bereavement Counselor and an adjunct College Professor. While he has much education and experience, one of the most important things for him is his passion for showing how the truth of Scripture is applicable to everyday life.
