WHO ARE WE?

Since 2003, The Citadel of Praise has been a refuge for the lost and found and a home for believers committed to God's priorities of faith, family and service. Under the leadership of Rev. Gregory B. Drumwright, the ministry grew into a movement that ignited revival on college campuses, birthing The Citadel Campus Ministry and drawing hundreds of students to Christ.

OUR MISSION

The Citadel is a faith-based Christian community that seeks to meet the total human need through life enrichment and communal care regardless of religious identity. We accomplish this through offering educational programs and initiatives through personal development, community-wide outreach and engagement, and opportunities that promote healthy and holistic living for persons regardless of race, religion, gender, class or orientation. We welcome and extend fellowship and benevolence to all who are persuaded to be servants of Christ and the work of discipleship.

OUR VISION

The Citadel remains devoted to transforming lives through the gospel, enlarging the kingdom through empowering generations and equipping believers of the beloved community.

THIS SUNDAY'S SET LIST

WELCOME

At The Citadel, we believe church is more than a Sunday experience—it's a community where people are encouraged, supported, and empowered to live out their faith every day.

Our auxiliary groups and ministries serve as vital expressions of the church's mission, fostering discipleship, fellowship, leadership development, and service. Through these ministries, individuals are equipped to grow spiritually, steward their gifts, and support the life and work of the church.

From children and youth ministries to worship, outreach, and leadership-focused auxiliaries, each ministry plays an important role in cultivating a thriving faith community and advancing the Kingdom of God.

HOW TO GIVE

We have been given the greatest gift the world has ever known—the love, grace and mercy of God. At the highest cost to Him, yet no cost to us, we are forgiven forever. Having freely received, we freely give.
