No judgement! We all have a past but are saved through the Power of the Cross. We believe in the God the Father and Creator of heaven and earth. Jesus Christ the Messiah the Son of God and Holy Ghost the very present Comforter and Guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe the Jesus was crucified for our sins and raised from death for our eternal salvation and He is coming again to take His people home. We believe the same gifts and miracles recorded in the Bible are active today. Our ministry is about teaching you how to walk in miracles, freedom and salvation, and teaching you how to witness to the lost. We teach the full gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <strong>Pastor, Reverend Debra Wittenberg<\/strong> is fondly known by most as <strong>&#8220;Momma D&#8221;<\/strong> and &#8220;The Barefoot Evangelist&#8221;. She is a wife, a mother of two and a grandmother or &#8220;Gigi&#8221; to three grandchildren. She is Licensed and Ordained through the Pentecostal Church of God. She grew up in a Southern Baptist Church and greatly loves that church and the people. One day she had an encounter with the Holy Ghost which revealed something she had never been taught, &#8220;there is a power that is very real and evident and after experiencing can never turn back&#8221;. After that encounter she has been pressing in to grow deeper in a relationship spiritually. Her growth has caused her to desire to teach others how to walk in that same power. What power? The power of miraculous healings, deliverance from oppression and salvation. Her past of brokenness compels her to compassion for the broken, teaching them how to be free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come join us for a visit and taste and see that the Lord is good! We are a family at His House! Our mission statement is &#8220;Walking in Unity, Love and One Accord&#8221;, that sounds kind of like Acts 2 doesn&#8217;t it? That&#8217;s because we are that kind of church. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"922\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/soulsofthunder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cropped-cropped-img_1702-922x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-875\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.9003969383824342;width:203px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soulsofthunder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cropped-cropped-img_1702-922x1024.jpg 922w, https:\/\/soulsofthunder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cropped-cropped-img_1702-270x300.jpg 270w, https:\/\/soulsofthunder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cropped-cropped-img_1702-768x853.jpg 768w, https:\/\/soulsofthunder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cropped-cropped-img_1702-1383x1536.jpg 1383w, https:\/\/soulsofthunder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cropped-cropped-img_1702-600x666.jpg 600w, https:\/\/soulsofthunder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cropped-cropped-img_1702.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/soulsofthunder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/me-new.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-923\" style=\"width:199px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along by Pastor&#8217;s side is her husband <strong>Phil aka Witty Wittenberg<\/strong>.
