Interim Co-Pastor with over 20 years of ministry experience. Rev. Lampkins has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications from the University of Oklahoma, a Graduate Certificate in Non-Profit Management from Oklahoma City University, a Master of Divinity from Saint Paul School of Theology and a Doctor of Ministry from Saint Paul School of Theology. Needless to say education is important to him.

He is married with two children and loves serving in the community…and riding motorcycles 😉.

We are a faith community in the United Methodist tradition that believes the grace of God is always at work even before we know or claim it. We believe that our faith journey is about growing in love of God and neighbor.

We believe a faith community is called to reconciliation not division. We believe that Jesus Christ welcomes all. We believe that salvation means healing and wholeness in this life, not just the afterlife. We believe the Bible is inspired of God and is the center of our teaching and witness.

Most of all, we believe it’s how well we love (not so much what we say) that best demonstrates we are following Jesus.
