God has called Pastor Copeland to preach and teach the Word of God with boldness, clarity and demonstration
so that souls may be saved. It is Pastor Copeland’s desire that people will not only be hearers of the Word of
God, but that they are doers and allow God to have His way in their life.
Pastor Copeland is completely sold out for God and truly believes that the Christian Life is a “Faith Walk”. She
further believes that in this last season God is calling us to teach the Word of God with “clarity” and all power
through Jesus Christ.

Glory.”
