Kids Ministry Pastor

Meet Connect Church:
In 1985, a dream was born in the heart of Pastor Ernie Frye, a vision that would eventually grow into the community we know as Connect. While the name has changed over the years, the spirit of the Church has remained: a bible teaching, spirit filled community where lives are transformed, relationships flourish, and the love of God permeates every corner. Pastor Ernie and Randa Frye pioneered our church and established a dynamic ministry that has a rich legacy. Our Lead Pastor, Deryck Frye, has continued to carry this legacy forward. Under Pastor Deryck’s leadership Connect has exploded! Not only is Connect consistently expanding and growing but one of our best traits is the family culture married with our aggressive focus on our mission.

Christian Life:

What you do on your own time may seriously affect your ability to perform these types of ministries, which are an important part of your job.
