Our ALÄ«V Team
Brian A. Rush
Pastor Brian A. Rush is a devoted servant of the Lord whose greatest joy is loving God and loving people. As a caring husband and father, Pastor Brian’s heart beats for building strong, healthy families and helping others do the same. He believes that when our homes are rooted in God’s love and guided by His Word, they become a light that blesses our communities and draws others to the hope we have in Jesus.
Pastor Brian is deeply passionate about walking alongside believers in discipleship. He strives to encourage them to grow deeper in their faith and to share the hope of the Gospel with others. With degrees in both business and theology, he combines practical wisdom and biblical truth to help strengthen the church and nurture a loving, Christ-centered community.
His prayer is that everyone he serves would experience the abundant life God has promised; with the hope that we become a light that cannot be hidden—so that together, we can share His love and change the world.

Pastor Brian & Pari Rush, Ministers Jon & Kelli Winfree, and core team members Bill & Janet Dutill are more than leaders — we are family, and we count it a blessing to walk this faith journey alongside you.
At the heart of our team is a deep commitment to being a church that is truly ALÄ«V in Christ Jesus. We believe church is not just a place you go — it’s a family you belong to. We laugh together, pray together, grow together, and face life’s ups and downs arm in arm.
Our greatest joy is sharing the love and life of Jesus with others, so that hearts and homes are filled with His hope. We long to see lives transformed by His love, families strengthened by His grace, and our community shining with the light only He can bring.
We desire to teach and show what it means to truly live in the love, joy, and peace that Jesus so freely gives. We believe that when we do life together — rooted in His Word, growing in His love — there’s no limit to what God can do in and through us.
We can’t wait to welcome you into our church family — where you are seen, loved, valued, and invited to live ALÄ«V in Jesus with us.

To be a word-based international ministry aimed at imparting the abundant life of Christ into every area of peoples' lives, while discipling them through the accurate teaching and proclamation of God's word.
Mission
Agapé: We abide in God’s love in such a pure, powerful, and genuine way that we become a reflection of His nature to all those we encounter.
​
Life: We abide in the abundant life of Christ; and teach others to do the same. As ambassadors of the Kingdom
of God, we carry His abundant life wherever we go.
Integrity: We are built on a solid foundation of excellence, love, faithfulness, and truth. Our lives reflect the very principles we teach. We strive to create avenues of communication that are effective, open, honest, genuine, safe, and rooted in love.
Values: We are family, serving one another in love. We promote a healthy balance between ministry, personal life, and individual calling. Our mission is to nurture strong marriages and families, to uplift women who feel devalued or forgotten, to strengthen men who feel trapped or hopeless, and to help those who have been disadvantaged or abandoned within our society.
