Mike and Leslea are graduates of Christ of the Nations and have been in ministry for 30 years. Their hunger and passion for leading people into the Presence of God through worship and prayer is what brought them to Western North Carolina believing this region is ripe for Revival and the next great move of God.

It is their desire to create an atmosphere through worship that will allow Holy Spirit to rest on His people allowing them to pray accordingly for this region, our nation, church, and church family.
