About Us
Joe and Lacey, residents of Presque Isle, Maine, have been involved in various aspects of ministry for the past 10 years. Both began young and have been called of God for such a time as this!
Lacey, is a 2004 graduate of Christian Life College in Stockton, CA. Lacey faithfully served in several areas of ministry at the Apostolic Pentecostal Church in Mars Hill, ME until her marriage to Joe in 2006.
Prior to his marriage to Lacey, Joe served as a Minister of Music and Youth Pastor at the United Pentecostal Church, located in Fort Fairfield, ME. Once married to Lacey, they continued to work with the Youth of Fort Fairfield. In December of 2007 Joe and Lacey felt God leading them in a new direction. After 10 years of service in Fort Fairfield, Joe resigned and left the UPC to seek God's will outside the organization.
Joe and Lacey currently attend the Church of Jesus, pastored by Rev. and Mrs. Earl Durost. Joe and Lacey felt this was where God was leading them. This church began as a United Pentecostal Church in the 1950s and today is an Independent Apostolic Pentecostal Church. Joe was ordained by Southwest Evangelical Ministries on May 13, 2008 and is a member of the Southwest Evangelical Minististerial Association. Joe is also a member of the PromiseLand Association of Ministries and Churches.
Far above any credentials or degrees, the Saucier's share a love for the Lord Jesus Christ and desire to do His Perfect Will!

Romans 5:9-11; Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 12:11 - We believe that every believer must have a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, for apart from Him we can do nothing. Each person has a ministry from God that no one else can fill. We are to instruct, teach, exhort, and admonish believers in the ways of God
John 15:1-5; Hebrews 13:5-6 - We believe that the Bible is the true infallible Word of God, which cleanses our souls. It holds the words of eternal life and the keys of the Kingdom of God. The Bible shows us God's principles and standards for living; and it is the food that sustains us in all circumstances

John 6:53-58; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30 - We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the sign of speaking in other tongues. We believe that Christians must be filled daily by using the prayer language, but the evidence of the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence is a changed life
