PATHWAY church
Using an incarnational approach and organic principles for church planting we were lead by God to minister to the people in Millridge/Pebblebrook sub-division; a drug infested, crime ridden neighborhood six miles from our home. What developed is now called PATHWAY.
We sought to model creative ministry by only spending the amount of time each week any working Adventist family would have available. We started out with servant evangelism, moving to a weekly gathering for young people that moved to Friday night church (meeting in a open lot, in a couple neighborhood houses, at our house. Last year we began focusing on discipling adults so they could assist us in ministry to the community.
Several outcomes have occurred as a result of our ministry.

Several outcomes have occurred as a result of our ministry.
- Several people accepted Christ as their personal Savior and are seeking a deeper walk with Jesus
- Some of the neighborhood youth are making positive choices in life
- Some believe in God's last day message
- We BETA tested KIDS in Discipleship curriculum with unchurched young people
