The Lampstand - Victoria

I honestly don’t even know where to begin because there are no words that could fully express what God has done in my life. This church has completely changed my life not because of a building or a name, but because the presence of God is here. I’ve encountered the Holy Spirit twice in my life, and the second time was here. From the very first moment I walked through these doors, I felt His presence in a way I had never experienced before. It wasn’t just an emotional feeling it was the Lord calling me home. Before God brought me here, I was in one of the darkest seasons of my life. I was searching for fulfillment in the things of this world, chasing things that could never satisfy my soul. I felt lost, broken, and weighed down by sin. But even when I didn’t know how to find Him, Jesus came looking for me. In His incredible mercy, He led me to this church, and my life has never been the same. For the first time, I was surrounded by people who truly loved Jesus—not just with their words, but with their lives. I watched people surrender everything to follow Christ, and through their obedience, God began changing my heart. He changed the way I see myself. He changed the way I see others. He changed the way I see this world. I realized that this life is not about me it is all about Jesus. The Lord has done more in these past two years than I could have ever imagined. He restored my family. He rescued me from sinful desires that once had such a strong hold on me. He broke chains I thought I would carry forever. He replaced my shame with grace, my fear with peace, my emptiness with His love, and my hopelessness with a living hope found only in Jesus Christ. I’ve encountered the Lord here. I’ve heard Him speak. I’ve felt His presence. I’ve watched Him answer prayers. I’ve seen Him transform lives including my own. Every time I walk through these doors, I am reminded that God is still moving, still healing, still restoring, and still calling people to Himself. I am forever grateful for the pastors, leaders, and every brother and sister in Christ who have allowed the Lord to use them to disciple, encourage, and love others so well. God has used this church to change my life, and I know He is only getting started. All glory belongs to Jesus, because without Him I would not be the person I am today. !I am happily married With a beautiful baby girl and a beautiful church family 🥰❤️ Thank You Lord Jesus!!!

I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about The Lampstand. Walking through those doors has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. I came in searching for something more, and I found not only a church, but a family that welcomed me and my husband with so much love, grace, and encouragement. The messages are always grounded in God’s Word and have helped me grow so much in my relationship with Jesus. Every service leaves me challenged, encouraged, and excited to continue growing in my faith. More than anything, it’s the people who make this church so special. They genuinely care about you, pray for you, and walk alongside you no matter where you are in your journey. God has used this church to completely change my life, and I am so incredibly grateful for every person He’s placed here. If you’ve been looking for a church to call home, I truly encourage you to visit. The Lampstand has been such a gift, and I know God is doing amazing things here.

Lampstand is the most intentional church my family and I have ever attended. It’s so much more than just going to church on Sunday and being on your own the rest of the week. Their heart is, “Let us disciple you the way the Bible teaches.” They genuinely walk alongside you, encourage you, and help you grow in your relationship with the Lord. This is a true family in Christ, and we’re incredibly grateful to have found it.🫶🏽

Lampstand is everything I hoped Church would look like, the Acts church. Pastors Ben and Leslie walk alongside us through every season in life, rather rejoicing or in trials. They're not just pastors on Sunday that you see from the pulpit once a week. They are intentional of having a genuine relationship with members as brothers and sisters in Christ. Their home is always open or a phone call away. They truly give of themselves in the equipping of the saints, by encouraging us in the Lord, and building us up as warriors in Christ. At Lampstand discipleship is a lifestyle. No more three-point sermons with three scriptures; what is preached and teached here is all Word building up the spirit man. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 [16] All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, [17] so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Come ready to receive! ~Cherry Belle Kercheval

I was raised in church & ministry. Been a part of small churches, large churches, international churches. The Lampstand follows God's Word and standard the best that I have experienced anywhere. The Bible is taught unadulterated and the service is lead with the fear of the Lord at the center. If you are searching for the truth of God's word & desire to truly grow your relationship with God the biblical way, The Lampstand Church is it. In a world of watered down faith and counterfeits, The Lampstand holds true to it's name. These Pastors are the REAL DEAL-and I am SO HAPPY my family & I can call this church home.

The Lampstand is not just another church; another building, but a true five fold, Spirit filled, anointed, Christ believing, Bible teaching, truth preaching, demon destroying, miracle, signs and wonders, powerful praise, whole hearted worship, kinda ministry. The moment you arrive you are greeted and loved on by awesome brothers and sisters in Christ. Praise and worship that isn’t a spectacle, but leads you to the throne room. Services that are guided by anointed apostles and pastors who are led by the Holy Spirit. Sermons that are preached with every word coming from God brought with conviction and truth. Faith, fun, and fellowship while encouraging, equipping, and edifying one another, this church is truly a ministry with a heart for all people, to see them grow deeper in their walk, where men are taught to be men of God and women; women of God. Where even the children are brought up to be warriors for God. Where you might have came in chained and bound, but you might just leave changed and delivered. In other words the kinda church where the Bible says taste and see that the Lord is good, will have you wanting to come back again and again.

I love Lampstand the best church to make sure you’re encouraged and not led to false teaching but led to the fruit of the spirit. Pastor Ben and Leslie will really reveal the truth of how we live for Jesus, it will make your spirit uncomfortable and really humble you in so many ways that only the Holy spirit can reach and they are very powerful in their teaching and the lord truly speaks through them. they’re true genuine believers and followers but not only that they’re family and they’re true brother and sisters in Christ but in my eyes pastor Ben is like a father to me. I’m so very grateful for them and how much they will really help and encourage you to be led by the Holy Spirit and what it is to truly be saved and to know and follow God not in our understanding and fleshly ways but in Jesus understanding. It just starts with really choosing who you will serve but you will have their support every step of the way even when it gets hard. The best family I could have.

God’s church where sugar and water are not present only salt and light when the Word of God is preached! A five fold ministry that is Holy Spirit led in all areas and have a heart for the things of God! Where you’re encouraged to dig deep to discover Jesus for yourself and experience the goodness of the Lord. I could go on and on but I encourage you to experience for yourself! COME AS YOU ARE… LEAVE CHANGED❣️

Taking sometime to share as I’ve witnessed the presence of The Lord at Lampstand Ministries. If your wondering around with weight on your shoulders, hardness in your heart, been church hurt as most of us have. Come join the crowd of witnesses that can relate. You do not need to wonder around this life alone or carrying the weight of the world alone. We read the scriptures, The Pastors are genuine and raw to share the goodness of The Lord. And the weight is lifted and we see freedom because God Has His Way. The biblical truth taught and sharing In Love. I, too am a witness, humbled and willing to help spread The Gospel alongside my brothers and sisters In Christ Jesus. Hope to see you join us soon.

This church is DIFFERENT. 🔥 at Lampstand, the Holy Spirit is #1. I was saved radically in the Lampstand on a day when I was ready to GIVE UP on life. My "last resort" was surrendering to a God who I didn't know at all. I just knew the people who led the church had peace and joy and answers to questions no one else could give me. For them, it was just another day, a day of prayer, obedience to God, proclaiming the name of Jesus and allowing Him to work. At the Lampstand healing, breakthrough, freedom from spiritual bondage, and true worship are expected... because the presence of God is in this place. It's not a typical service. You don't have to leave the same way you came in!!! Church is meant for the broken hearted, the lost, the sick, and those who want to grow and learn. You will be equipped for the spiritual battle here, and trained to go out and be the hands and feet of Christ wherever you go. The goal is not more "members" but SAVED SOULS. ✝️
