Testimonies

Pastor John shares how the Lord has grown a small group of 15 members into a community dedicated to knowing Jesus and making Him known. He opens up about the beauty of a congregation learning to “suffer well” together through cancer, loss, and hardship, and the joy of seeing new believers baptized into the family of God.

Six months in, what’s going on at Pillar Church of Killeen? In this update, Pastors John Turner and Jerimiah Walker share how the Lord has been at work since launching on August 17, 2025. Meeting in a local hotel has opened unexpected doors to minister to staff and guests. Located with easy access to Fort Hood, the church continues to reach and serve military families and the surrounding community.

Pastor Cody from Pillar Church of Woodlawn (name changing to Pillar Church of Mt. Vernon!) shares an update on what God is doing just outside Washington, DC—where military life brings constant pressure, rapid transition, and unique gospel opportunities. Planted to serve soldiers and their families at Fort Belvoir, this church is seeing deep community, new believers coming to Christ, growing partnerships with the USO, and a renewed focus on identity rooted in the gospel rather than the military.
