Who We Are

Our beginning.

In September 1998, Dr. Brian Hayes heard the Lord clearly instruct him to go to "Centerville, Ohio and establish My Work.” In June 1999, the Hayes family moved from Indiana to Ohio plant The Engrafted Word Family Church. The church officially opened on August 1, 1999, in a rented hotel meeting room with a few friends and family members in attendance. Since then, The Engrafted Word Family Church has been a place where people can find purpose and direction in life.

Our motto is "With Purpose" and encompasses four things:

Praying with purpose

Giving with purpose

Loving with purpose

Living with purpose

Too often we engage in prayer, giving, relationships, and life without any real meaning or understanding behind why we do the things that we do. This results in our making wrong or inadequate choices that leave us bitter, hurt, or defeated. By understanding why we make the choices that we do we can learn to make better choices that affect our future outcome and empower us to move forward in faith, confident and fulfilled in life.
