Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We are starting our 41st year at the same location. We are easy to find on most maps. We have been here for so many years because we are helping people in their spiritual lives and their everyday lives. Our longevity gives you assurance of our interest in our community. Come and be a part of our church as we continue to grow and help those in need.
What is your primary product or service?
We are in the business of sharing God's love. God so loved His creation of mankind that He sent His Son to redeem fallen man, and only through the name of Jesus Christ can mankind be saved and made ready for heaven. The Bible is the source of our teachings and practices.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
At an early age I became aware of my sin and the need to get rid of the guilt that accompanies it. I gave my life to God through faith and by His grace he forgave me and restored my broken fellowship with Him. I was active with my family in starting several mission works in Missouri, Idaho, and Michigan. At the age of 12 I began to speak in youth group meetings and soon thereafter recognized God's call into the ministry. I spent the next 5 years in evangelism 6 years in college and then the next 44 years in mission works in Missouri.

Our Church holds true to the fundamental Bible doctrines. We hold up the blood stained banner of Christ as our hope of salvation and practice the commands of loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
