Mountain of Praise Church

Doung & Kaylene Hankins

Pastor Jerry Jochem, and the leadership of Abundant Life Church of Winchester had a vision of a church plant in the Monteagle, TN area. I knew God had called my family to this new ministry. We began our plans and started looking for a building in the spring of 2000.

In July we found an old Laundromat and car wash building and began renovations. In Oct. 2000, we had our dedication service and began ministering at Mountain of Praise Church. In the two years there we have grown from two families to over thirty five people in attendance, representing 10 families.

We are praying for God's continual provision for the church. We are praying God's continued vision to reach the lost and oppressed people living on the mountain. We offer a place of worship and teaching of God's word. We strive to keep God's message simple and balanced, bringing a spirit-filled alternative to the life they now have.

God is growing us, building in us, and stretching us all to His Glory.
