    At 9 years of age, the church he was attending with his family had a "Revival Week'' where the word was being boldly preached every evening of the week. Richard remembers vividly how convicted he felt during one of those evenings, he talked with his dad that night and asked if he would go forward with him during the altar call the next night. The next night, Richard went forward and accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. Jesus has been working in Richard’s life to change him ever since.

  • Isaac considine

    Born in Wisconsin, Isaac grew up in a Christian home and  accepted Christ at the age of 8 during a youth ministry event. Throughout life God has continued to reveal Himself and provide mentors along my way that encouraged and strengthened Isaac in the faith. Isaac moved to the area in the Spring of 2021 along with his wife (Maisey) and two children (Autumn and Oscar). They found All Saints shortly there-after and have been committed members since the Fall of 2021. Recently God has led Isaac down the path towards the call of serving in the ministry of the church as a Deacon. In the past year he has worked alongside the Diaconate to gain a better understanding of the ministry. It has been, and continues to be a blessing to serve God, our church, and community in the physical and felt needs. It is such a gift of grace to be a part of the ordinary means by which God expands His kingdom here on earth.
