Pastor Darrell focuses his verse-by-verse messages on real life issues. We want you to be able to say what we talked about on Sunday gave you something that could help you on Monday: in your family, at your work, with your life. At the core of it all is the fact that God has made all of us to live lives with purpose. It's not about religion; it's about glorifying God, whom we can enjoy. It's not about pretending that we're perfect, it's about a God who is willing to give His grace to grow us.

Our pastor believes God's people will bless the communities God has them in.  Some Darrell loves serving:

Families Feeding Families

Foster Parent Association

Durant Ministerial Alliance

The Great Physicians Pharmacy and Clinic

Loaves and Fishes

Darrell received his Bachelor of Science from Cameron Univeristy in Lawton Oklahoma majoring in psychology and minoring in family sciences.  He is currently continuing his education, a Master of Arts in Apologetics from Luther Rice Theological Seminary.

Music has the power to speak to the heart! Since we all have hearts that thrive on encouragement and that need to be energized – the music at Western Meadow is encouraging and energizing. We want you to get a lift and not a letdown when you come to church!

We all like different styles of music, so there are several music styles incorporated into our worship celebration.
