Next Chapter Church: About Us

“There’s a reason that the Bible tells us in Psalm 122:1 that, “I was glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord.” You see, church was never meant to be boring! It is meant to be a place of enjoyment, benefit and deepening relationships with God and other people.”

Anyone who has ever sat under Pastor Shawn’s leadership in the church, or his teaching from the pulpit, knows that church is designed to be a place of blessings and benefit. It is a long-held belief that he both holds and works towards in every church that he has served as Founding or Senior Pastor, and why every church he’s involved in attracts a crowd with an energy and anticipation that makes church the highlight of many attendees week.
