Hello, we’re CHP
Take a minute and learn a bit about us.
Vision | Mission | Leadership | What We Believe | Ministries
Vision
Our vision is to see people saved, transformed, discipled and serving by the power and presence of God.
Mission
Our mission of building the Jesus Culture of Community is given by God to create a healthy, nurturing and thriving community of believers who serve God and one another by the power of the transformative love of Jesus Christ.
We experience His merciful and gracious love as we invoke His presence by prayer, worship, and the teaching of His Word. As we lead people to salvation, they experience freedom, find their purpose, and make a difference not only here at Church of His Presence, but in the Kingdom of God
Leadership
Pastor Jordan & Mindy Bradford
Senior Pastors
Jordan Bradford is in passionate, continual pursuit of the Word of God.
This passion drives him to find ways to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in ways that are applicable in the daily life of every believer. This commitment to the call has sent Jordan both across this country and abroad sharing the Truth to thousands of people.
In 2015, Jordan and his wife Mindy founded The Refuge Church in Southeast Ohio. The Refuge came into existence as an outgrowth of another work founded by Pastor Jordan and his brother Pastor Isaac. In 2011, the brothers co-founded the Freedom for Appalachia Community Development Organization (FACDO – facdo.org), a non-profit whose purpose is to provide meaningful, life-changing services, programs, and opportunities to the people of the Appalachian region. As a result of the efforts of FACDO, The Refuge Church took form, providing a local gathering for volunteers and those positively impacted by FACDO to gather together and glorify the Lord while growing together spiritually.
Pastor Jordan and Mindy currently reside in Parkersburg, WV, with their daughter, Nora and their son, Baron.
Pastor Bryan & Karrie Casey
Assistant Pastors
Bryan Casey is devoted to shining the light of Jesus wherever he goes. With a heart for helping and guiding others, he is passionate about bridging divisions and advancing the Kingdom of Heaven. Bryan has a deep love for reaching the lost and is committed to discipling believers, equipping them to grow in their faith and boldly pursue their God-given callings.
Bryan married his wife, Karrie, in 2017. Together, they reside in Coshocton, Ohio, with their three daughters: Alyssa, Raven, and Revie. In 2022, they felt the Lord’s call to Parkersburg, West Virginia, to serve as assistant pastors at Church of His Presence, working alongside Pastors Jordan and Mindy to help advance the church’s vision.
In 2024, Bryan and Karrie launched 925 Motorsports Ministry, combining their family’s love for racing with their mission to share the gospel. As a family, they bring the good news to the racetrack while Bryan fulfills his passion for motorsports.
What We Believe
God
There is only One True God—revealed in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s Son, Jesus was both human and divine.
The Bible
The Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
Fall of Man
Although originally good, man willingly fell into sin—ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
Salvation
Every person can have restored fellowship with God through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
Church Ordinances
We practice two ordinances:
Water Baptism by immersion and Holy Communion.
BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers.
EVIDENCE OF THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
The initial physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is “Speaking in Tongues.”
SANCTIFICATION
Sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers become more Christlike.
THE CHURCH
We believe “the Church” is the Body of Christ and consists of people who have accepted God’s offer of redemption through Jesus Christ.
THE MINISTRY
A divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry serves the Church.
DIVINE HEALING
Divine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today.
THE RAPTURE
This blessed hope is when Jesus raptures His Church prior to His return to earth (the Second Coming).
MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST
The Millennial Reign of Christ is when Jesus returns with His saints at His Second Coming and begins His rule over earth for 1,000 years.
FINAL JUDGMENT
A final judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ.
NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH
We believe and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him.
MARRIAGE
We believe in the sacredness of marriage between one man and one woman.
TITHING
We believe in the Biblical principle of tithing.
