ABOUT

OUR VISION

Know God

God wants to have a personal relationship with you. Whether you're new to church or have been following God for years, our Sunday Services are a safe place to grow closer to Him.

Find Freedom

James 5:16 says, "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." To help you overcome past hurt and sin, connect with others through Small Groups.

Discover Purpose

We believe your design reveals your destiny. Growth Track is a 90-minute class where you'll learn who you are, who we are, and how we can best advance God's kingdom in Snyder together.

Make a Difference

Once you find out how you're wired specifically, you'll be invited to join our Dream Team, where you can use the gifts and talents God has given you to serve our church and community.

MEET THE TEAM

REID JOHNSON, LEAD PASTOR

1. What do you love most about your job? Leading people to reach their full potential

2. What God-sized goal are you praying will happen in our church? Jesus says in Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem (where they were standing), and in all Judea and Samaria (the surrounding area), and to the ends of the earth.” When I was called to lead Colonial Hill in 2019, I knew God wanted me to grow His church locally as well as in the surrounding area eventually. I believe it is His will for our healthy church to plant multiple campuses in cities neighboring ours, restoring life where it may be lacking.

3. What scripture has been your life verse thus far? Jesus says in Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” I’ve learned that if I truly put God first, everything falls into place, and if my life ever feels off, it’s because something or someone has replaced Jesus on the throne of my heart.
