Hi my name is Pastor Samuel J. Cottle. 

While in a season of fasting and prayer for the Lord to show me how to effectively fulfill his will in my life, the Holy Spirit visited me and said to build a church (a gathering of believers) in West Branch, MI.  As I followed His leadings, the Lord showed me what He wanted established in this region.  This is the vision. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal, and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not Delay.

1. An Oasis of love.

Eph 3:17-19   So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.                                                                                                

2. A Word based faith church.

Matt 16:18  And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church; and the gates of hell shall not overpower it.                          

Heb 11:6   And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who seek Him.                     

3. A Family Worship Center.

John 4:23-24  But the hour has come, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.  24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.                                                

4. A Believers Bible Training Center.

Eph 4:11-16   And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: 15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:  16  from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.                                                                

5. An Evangelistic Outreach Center. 

Matt 28:18-20  And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  19  "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20  teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
