Pastor Jeff Johns began pastoring White Horse Christian Center in 1983 ( then called Tippecanoe Christian Center ). Since that time the church has outgrown several facilities, and in the fall of 2003, purchased and took up residence in the former Cumberland Place Exhibition Center in West Lafayette. This new facility has over 25, 000 square feet on the main floor with a sanctuary seating up to 1000, and a Fellowship Hall with seating for approx. 250.The West 3rd youth recreation center is equipped with 3-on-3 basketball, foosball, air hocky, ping-pong, pool table, video games, and a platform with sound and musical equipment. The West 3rd is used by the church middle/high school youth and young adults. Upstairs is over 6, 500 sq.ft.of classroom and office space. The church offers classes for all ages on Sunday mornings at 8: 30 and Wednesday evenings at 7: 00. The vision of White Horse Christian Center is to promote unity through diversity by growing a strong healthy church family and to equip the body of Christ to do the work of the ministry. The Mission of the church is the Great Commission ( Mark 16: 15 ): Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. WHCC is accomplishing this through numerous ministry trips throughout the year; White Horse School of Ministries, an accredited Bible college; nine conferences per year that gather people from all over the United States, Canada, and the world for encouragement and building relationships in the body of Christ. Flags of every nation hang in the sanctuary, representative of the churchs vision for the nations of the world. Hundreds of short-term mission teams have been sent out from WHCC over the years. Each year the Multi-Ethnic Ministry of the church sponsors various events celebrating the international and diverse cultural community in which we live. In 2004 White Horse Christian Center added four new pastors to its Pastoral Ministry Staff: Pastors Ignacio & Consuelo Barron and Pastors Bobby & Martha Ruth Kirkley. They join Pastor Johnnie Beard and Pastor Gary Osborne in support of Pastor Jeff Johns, ministering to and leading the church as it continues to grow. 1. The Bible is the divinely-inspired Word of God, and the truth of God to man ( II Timothy 3: 16 ).
