Church History

Pastors Marvin & Neshella Mitchell have been residents in the State of Washington for over 53 years.  On June 19, 1999 through God’s divine appointment they were married. They have four beautiful children Jared Mitchell, Shaina Mitchell, Amani Turnage and Elliot Turnage.  God’s purpose for this wonderful union was not just for their love for one another and their children, but it was also for their love for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every man, woman, and child.

For over 35 years with love and compassion they both have served as Christian servants locally and internationally to the homeless, hopeless, and helpless on the street, in the jails and in their local churches.
