God is good, and His
goodness keeps manifesting itself in so many different ways-especially at Logos

During the weeks of
Bible study, some of God’s people were beseeching Minister Kline to start a
church and be the leader of the displaced flock. But, leading a church
congregation was not something Minister Kline had considered at the time.
However, God had not moved on his heart yet. In the meantime, many saints were
praying for God to provide what was needed, and we know that God answers

the matter. He prayed, and he asked the Bible study group to pray, also,
because he said that he wanted to be led by God and not by the wants and wishes
of man.
He prayed, and the
Bible study group prayed and finally Minister Kline got his answer from God.

pastor, two associate ministers, eleven deacons and various ministries , and through these various
ministries, Logos strives to address the needs of our church and community members
from the cradle to the grave.
On December 7, 2004,
Logos was blessed to be able to purchase 4.7 acres of land on which we plan to
build our own place of worship in the not too distance future. Since we opened our
doors on April 14th 2002, God has blessed Logos over and over again.
