Is Pastor Parsley involved in this church, or are you just using his name?
Pastor Rod Parsley will preach live via satellite from WHC Columbus for our Sunday services, unless his schedule doesn’t permit his presence, and will be at WHC Elkhart in person on Wednesday nights. He’s been actively involved in every aspect of launching and operating this new church.

Why are you starting a new church?
Bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a new community is a great challenge and an incredible opportunity that God has orchestrated for Pastor Parsley. Northern Indiana has a intrinsic significance for him because of his long association with the late pastor and evangelist, Dr. Lester Sumrall. Pastor Parsley is grateful to Marion and Brenda Schrock, owner of WHC, for making the facility available for this dynamic new congregation.

Will the services always be where they are now?
"Always" is a long time, but our intent is to meet at WHC on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings for the foreseeable future. Any decisions regarding additional services and locations are a long ways off as we grow a new congregation in Elkhart.

What do you have for kids?
Our kids programs are temporarily not meeting but will resume meeting Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights at a future date.

Do you have Bible studies or other small groups?
A vital part of the vision for WHC Elkhart is to form as many Life Groups as the congregation can support. Life Groups are in-home gatherings of 8 to 20 people who meet on a regular basis for fellowship, Bible study and prayer, separately from the weekly worship service.

New Life Groups have formed all across north-central Indiana. Each are led by one or more mature Christian leaders who will accept you as you are, strengthen your faith and encourage you during life’s difficult times. A Life Group is a connection to a growing church and an awesome God. To find out more about our Life Groups at WHCE, Click Here.
