Keri and Darrin have been doing ministry work along side one another for 21+ years.

Finance Team Leaders

Dusty and Taylor Miller

We takes the money!! LOL

When we manage money God’s way, the results are life-changing. The Tree is committed to honoring God’s provision by exercising wise and faithful stewardship, ethical business practices, and full accountability to ensure the financial integrity of Tree 197 Ministries and that we remain above reproach. We accomplish this through a system of simple strategies, transparent internal control through our church leadership, finance team leadership, and our church family which is essential in doing God’s work as ONE church and furthering His Kingdom.

Children’s Church

KERI MAJOR

It’s our goal to inspire curiosity and wonder about God and provide a place for kids to belong. Tree Kids and Toddlers will discover more about God and come to know God in a personal way. We are so passionate about kids learning about Jesus in a way they can understand!

Encounter Ministry Post Leaders

STEVEN & AMY CLARK

Encounter is a 48 hour weekend, where men & women (18 years & older) from all walks of life, can experience the power and freedom, paid for by Jesus on the cross.

Worship Pastor

Brian King

The goal of our worship ministry is to bring people to the feet of Jesus. Jesus has the power to take us into the presence of God. Into the Holy Place of the Tabernacle. We desire to help everyone seeking, find complete freedom in the way in which they worship The Lord. We believe worship is most importantly a lifestyle of relationship with Jesus more than a type of music or a set time to worship Him through song.
