The Church Should Be The EpiCenter of Life...

OUR PASSION IS SIMPLE, to equip, encourage and empower people to live a successful Christian life!  We’re a family of believers committed to connecting people to Jesus and helping them discover the life that He promised. Every church has a unique story, as to how God started their work and increased their effectiveness.

Our story began several years ago with Pastors who were obedient to God and sold their business and settled with their family in Fort Bend County. Growing up in Louisiana, Gwen and Ladell were determined to realize their purpose. Ladell rose to the top of Wall Street managing a $10 billion investment fund and encountering some truly amazing people. He moved to Texas and later co-founded and helped build Smith, Graham & Company, a premier investment management firm which is still managing billions in assets today. 

Both Ladell and Gwen believe that the church should be the Epicenter of life – giving birth to some of the world’s most creative ideas and being the solution to life’s challenges, from family to career and beyond.
