Billy Helm
Pastor
Billy and Rhonda Helm have been serving the Lord together since the day they said "I do" in 2004. After Billy's first mission trip in 2001, Billy knew his calling was much larger than himself. God has allowed Billy and Rhonda to start several non-profits that reach people for Jesus here at home and across the nations. Not growing up in church, God delivered Billy from a life of addiction and self destruction. Billy has a passion to reach the lost and hurting for Jesus. Billy and Rhonda also serve together on the HOG Board of Directors and Rhonda is one of several leaders in the Women's Ministry. To God be the glory!

Adam & Courtney Renteria
Youth Leadership
Courtney met Jesus at the age of 14 when she attended her very first church camp. Courtney's Youth Leaders made a huge impact on her life and gave her the vision to one day do the same. She has the desire to help kids who are just like she was, exhausted, sad, angry and desperate to be loved, and to be broken off from the burdens and chains of this world. Her hope is to share how refreshing freedom feels through Jesus Christ. Adam’s journey for ministry began at the age of 18 after graduating high school. His love for music led him to the desire to reach out to people by playing live music with his brothers in Christ, walking roads less traveled to share the love of God through his music and praying with the hurting. Jesus Christ has been The Lord of his life for over 10 years. He has a heart for the fatherless and shares what the heavenly Father has fulfilled in his life. Adam and Courtney have been married for 5 years and have 1 child together. Courtney and Adam strive to do and be whatever and wherever God calls them to.
