When the church was established in 2016, I (Bill Sizemore) knew it would be much more than a church that met on Sunday. The vision has always been to expand into the fiber of our community to help in a significant way. Therefore, we incorporated it as a 501(c)3 and named it Reliant Ministries. Since March of 2016, our mission of “producing Jesus followers of faith that expand God’s kingdom” has been accomplished in incredible ways.

Our philosophy has always been to express our love and influence by investing in others producing life and family transformation. Through the gospel message, people have found hope and purpose and reached new heights through Reliant’s mentorship and leadership development paths. In the past nine years, God has grown the church from a handful in Pastor Bill and Kim’s garage to over two hundred that call Reliant their home. God continues to expand the core group for something even more significant in the future. Reliant is privileged to become a driving force for community engagement and enrichment. Over the last six years, we have:

• Partnered with other churches and organizations to provide for the needs of the hurting in our community.
• Provided schools with needed supplies for both students and teachers.
• Supported the special needs community through new sensory rooms and Alternative Baseball.
• Sent out seven mission teams to work in 5 countries, bringing hope to the nations.
• Helped to start seven churches in five countries around the world.
• Activity training the next generation of Church Planters and leaders both inside and outside Reliant.

As impressive as this is, God wants to do even more through our church in the coming years. Our community needs the church to be a place of safety and refuge, a place of healing and renewed perspective. We believe a society gets better one family at a time, and Reliant is ready to stand in the gap. We believe this season will be the most defining season in the life of our church to date.
