"I had been feeling God working on my heart and understood that I needed Jesus and the forgiveness and salvation that his sacrifice on the cross afforded me. One day in school we watched the film "A thief in the night". It was then that I knew for sure it was time to accept Christ. I went to one of my teachers, Mrs. Nan Phipps, and told her that I was a sinner and needed to be saved. She took me to the chapel and prayed with me and then I prayed and put my trust an faith in Jesus and His resurrection."

Dustin Allcorn is one of our elders. He is married to Karen, and they have three sons, Daniel, Jonah, and Matthew. As a teenager, He thought he had no need for any God and was a firm believer in the science of man to explain everything.
"Until He began to pursue me. Through my recently born-again brother and a supervisor where I worked as a high school senior, He spoke truth about my eternity. It was at a critical time and at first I fiercely rejected it. But the seed had been planted, and God did not stop. He broke me and I repented of my sin of disbelief. Sitting at home one night I asked His forgiveness. That weekend my brother came home from college and was shocked when I asked him if I could go to church with him! All praise to God for His forgiveness and unstoppable pursuit."
The Allcorns came to Meadowiew in 2013.
"My family needed to find a good church home in 2013 and visited Meadowview in October, just in time to enjoy an after-church potluck dinner!
