Pastor Johann oversees the daily operations of the ministry.

Candi McAdory
Evangelist
Evangelist Candi co-leads the Evangelist work alongside Evangelist Ciera. Candi is a worshipper and intercessor at heart who joyfully carries the burdens of others in the spirit and takes them to the feet of Christ. Candi has a spirit of boldness that allows her to encounter others not as strangers, but those belonging to the Kingdom. She loves God's people and desires to see everyone she meets saved.
Candi also leads our Hospitality and Welcome team. She desires that for every person who crosses the doorstep of ECI that they feel the love of Christ, through a smile, a hug, handshake or eye contact. That they know that ECI is a safe place to worship, cry, heal, be delivered and set free. The bible tells us that we shall know them by their fruit and if they don't have love, they have nothing. Candi is truly the fruit and definition of Love.
