Rev. Dr. Conley Hughes, Jr.

YOUR life is the most precious treasure you have. As a shepherd my task is awesome to say the least, because I have been called to minister to your needs.

Because I am made of the same stuff as you, I can't meet all of your needs, but because I believe in the all sufficiency of the Word of God, I can direct you to what God has to say about fulfilling your needs.

Some years ago in the rich region of northern Florida, I encountered a "still small voice" enlisting me into Kingdom work. The greatest joy I have today is sharing the Gospel message of hope with a wonderfully diverse group of people. Serving people is an intrinsic part of my life and Christian walk. My hope is that this desire to "serve" others has contagious consequences.

At Concord Church, our goal is to be transformed by a transforming Word. In doing so, we can effectively minister to the needs of others. We don't always succeed, as we would like, but we have learned that the person who fails is not the individual who does not succeed, but the one who never tries. So to try and not succeed is not to fail, but to fail is to never try.

With a growing congregation of over 1200 Christian believers representing 10 nationalities, a creative administrative, ministerial and lay support staff and dozens of ministries, we offer ourselves as God's instruments for Christian renewal and transformation.

Each day, 24/7, the Concord staff and I will work harder, try harder and pray more to meet your needs, as God would have us to do.

Your life transformation is the reason for Christ's Resurrection, and your needs are Concord's reason for ministering with commitment and compassion.
