Pastor Bart Dye was born in Greenville Texas in 1959, named after Bart Maverick from the most popular western of that year. At the age of 16, his grandmother paid him a $100 to completely read the bible, and told him he would grow up to be a pastor. Four years later was diagnosed with embryolic cell cancer and given the prognosis of a very short life. There were several friends who laid hands upon him and confessed he would be healed. While laying on the table at Park Plaza Hospital, an intern came running in and stated that a cure had just been released for this particular cancer. In pastor Bart's heart, he immediately knew that this was no coincedence, but rather divine intervention. The oncologist layed out a two year plan of experimental chemo and felt confident of a full recovery, but told pastor he would most likely not be able to have children. Three months into the chemo program, the doctors ran three sets of x-rays and blood work and were amazed to find that the cancer had completely disapeared! During this period he married his wife Eileen, who God imported from New Jersey, and they had been together for 30 years. Three years after the doctor's negative statement concerning having children, their son Christopher was born. He is now 27 years old and a Texas Bible School graduate, helping his family with the ministry.

Pastor Bart travelled throughout Texas, Georgia, and the entire upper East Coast as a manager in the photography business for fifteen years. During this time, he was bouncing around Baptist churches seeking the God that had so mercifully healed him. Being a double-minded man, he was truly unstable in all his ways. Given to lust, drugs, deceit, and alchohol it appeared that his grandmother's prophecy would never come to pass.

At the age of 31, while attending a Southern Baptist Church in Marietta Georgia, his wife began attending the Cartersville Church of God on Wednesday nights. After attending a passion play during Easter, he was drawn by the Holy Spirit to become a part of their choir. While driving to Macon Georgia, he was rehearsing the Carmen song "Revive Us Oh Lord". The little dodge Omni seemed to begin to fill up with smoke as he drove south past his destination and all the way to Florida. It was at this time he had his encounter with God, became filled with His Spirit, and lost all desire for the things that had held him in bondage for so many years.

Soon after this road to Damascus experience, God brought pastor Bart back home to Texas. While looking for a new church home, he visited a church called Gulf Meadows and was met by the pastor and told "You are the one God sent me to build this church". Not wanting to have any part of that, pastor Bart left saying he would never go back to that crazy place. After dodging the pastor for several months, some friends got pastor Bart and his family to volunteer in the youth ministry. For two years, they were faithful to serve in the youth, but rarely went into the main services. The person over the telivision ministry resigned and pastor Love asked pastor Bart to oversee this, because of his extensive photography background. For the next three years, he directed, developed and raised money for the production of four weekly ministry programs.
After great success in the media department, pastor Love asked him to become a full time minister and church administrator. During this time, he studied and was licensed and ordained by the Church of God in Cleveland Tennesee. True to pastor Love's prophecy, pastor Bart oversaw the completion of the second sanctuary, reburbishing of all other buildings, and the completion of the third sanctuary.

After completing all that God had for him to do there, pastor Love told him it was time to become a pastor. He was assigned an empty church in Greenspoint and started out with his wife, son, and four other people. This was a church that would seat over 200 and took a lot of finance to maintain the 4 acre property and parsonage. God always was faithful to keep the struggling church alive, and eventually it grew to over 120 members in a little over three years. When he had gotten to Greenspoint, pastor Bart had told the congregation that the eventual goal was to get a pastor trained up, because he knew God had called him to open a church in Spring. It was a ten year plan that God changed to only three! After hurricane Katrina there was a shifting to accomodate men who had lost their churches in New Orleans. In this, pastor Bart ended up relocating to a shopping center that is directly beside one of the largest high school's in Texas.

In October of 2001, they began having services in a old dirty print shop that had no carpet and no drop ceiling. There was splattered ink all over the place, the shop lights would dim when the bass player would hit the low notes. When the worship grew louder, tons of black insulation would rain down on the congregation. The first guest was Joan Hunter, and she comically said, "If you didn't need healing before you got here, you'll need it before you leave,' as people fell out of the folding chairs that would occasionally collapse. The pastor from "The Encourager Church" was visiting and came up at the end of the service and gave a $3500.00 check for new carpet. Soon after that the landlord invested $2000.00 in the marque, besides previously donating five thousand so the church could get started. Every day pastor Bart would go to the mailbox, there would be checks from people wanting to help. All the musical equipment was donated, and during that time a co-worker donated a little red sports car to pastor Bart.

Six months later, God put it on pastor's heart (with no money in the bank) to ask the landlord if they could go from 1900 square feet to 7000 square feet for the same rent. He not only agreed, but added three new air conditioners, and another $2000 to make the sign twice as large and look like a movie marque. The minute the new lease was signed, a family donated 200 of the nice interlocking, heavy duty church chairs. Then another family came forth and donated the projector and the electronic screen. Families gather together, while pastor was out of town, and completely wallpaper, painted and decorated the sanctuary for the first service. After that cameras, lighting, and additional computers were donated to begin broadcasting worship services.

The ministry has continued to grow reaching people throughout the the world for kingdom business. God continues to bless with donations of appliances, cabinets, flooring, and lots of building materials. In a decade of ministry, there has never been a second offering taken (except for guest speaker), any letters seeking donations, or any pleas from the pulpit asking for help to pay bills. Even though there has often been needs, pastor Bart's faith believes God will make provision for the vision He has given.

Presently, pastor Bart shares a daily devotional worldwide with over 3000 people via e-mail, and broadcast all services on the world wide web. Half of the book has been written, with the best chapters yet to come.
