Who We Are
Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ.

Oscar James, Teaching Pastor
Oscar James is originally from Liberia. In August of 1988, by a miracle of God, Oscar left Liberia for the United States. Displaced from his homeland, Oscar completed his studies and settled in San Jose, California where he worked as a business professional. He later married his wife Sophie and together, they are blessed with three children, Leighton, Miles, and Sophia-Denise. Corporate America proved to be a blessing to his family but the Lord reminded him continually about the miracle of him being spared the trials of war in Liberia. He openly admits that he always knew God had another plan for his life.
