Mountain Ministries is a new worship organization dedicated to bring together followers of Christ and the Lord’s word; one that isn’t contained or confined by time restrictions.

Al Stoker talked about that and more with Matt Drzik on the June 13 edition of A.M. Beaver County. He talked about the inspirations that brought Mountain Ministries to life, the beauty of the worship site Prayer Mountain (now in its 50th year), and what separates it apart from the traditional church.

He also talked about Mountain Ministries’ upcoming Summer Kickoff Worship Service, including a performance by local bluegrass group Echo Valley. Lizzy Anderson was also in studio representing the group, and she spoke of how she and the others felt about performing for Mountain Ministries, and the parallels between the ministry’s beliefs and her own.
