"I always dreamed of a church where people were considered special just because they were special in the eyes of God."
"What does it mean to be a member of a church? I am a member of 'The Family of God'."
"Come and be part of our family." Rev. Yocum
Reverend Ken Yocum served the ministry in central Illinois since the 1960s. In 1967, Reverend Ken pioneered television ministries which led to establishing Chapel Ministries in 1972. Chapel Ministries formed a trinity ministry of inspirational television, creative, contemporary worship and psychological-spiritual counseling. On Tuesday, the 14th of September, in the year of our Lord, 2010, Reverend Ken crossed over to live with our Father. He passed peacefully in his sleep. In his own words "His life spoke for itself. "
