Sunday Guest Speaker - Tim Johnson
Speaking at 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 AM Services
Pastor Tim has been in ministry for 25 years, of which 18 of those have been spent pastoring Pfrimmer’s Chapel in Corydon, Indiana. He also serves as co-founder and coach of The Joshua Center, a ministry of coaching and training leaders that reaches into four continents. He is the author of two books, "Church by the Creek: Flowing in the Spirit,” and “The Person and The Power.”
Early in their ministry, the Holy Ghost asked Pastor Tim and his wife, Pam, if they wanted a “normal” ministry or a “supernatural” one. As they got on their knees and prayed together, they chose at that very moment. . . Supernatural! Since that decision, they have seen the Holy Ghost move in their life and ministry in incredibly anointed ways, transforming a country church of 85 in one worship service into a church of as much as 1,000+ attending 10 weekly services. (And now too many to count due to all of the ministries around the globe.)
Prayer and Healing Service
Join us for a special time of prayer and healing, where we come together to lift up our hearts, seek God’s presence, and experience His transformative power. Whether you need physical healing, emotional restoration, or spiritual renewal, this service is an opportunity to receive prayer and encounter God's healing touch. Our team of prayer warriors will be ready to stand with you in faith, believing that God is able to heal, restore, and make all things new. Everyone is welcome—whether you're seeking prayer for yourself or a loved one. Come with expectant hearts, ready to receive.
