CORE VALUES
1. Building Kingdom Relationships
2. Empowering Servant Leadership
3. Mobilizing Unified Fervent Prayer
4. Seeking God’s Strategy
5. Pursuing Community Transformation
Community transformation describes the phenomena of spiritual revival that spills out from the church and changes the social, political, economic and spiritual fabric of the community. Its characterized by growth in prayer and hunger for God, shift in the spiritual climate leading to dramatic church growth, and decrease in crime followed by a supernaturally blessed economy.
The Kingdom of God describes the government of God reigning on earth in the lives of individuals and through them influencing the institutions of our culture.
We understand that the fullness of Gods Kingdom will come to earth with the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Pray WV is committed to:
1. Building Kingdom Relationships: Our foundation is to connect leaders in kingdom relationships. We seek the Holy Spirit to weld our hearts with His heart and with each other that we might function as the one body of Jesus Christ throughout West Virginia. The people of God bound together with a kingdom vision will give expression to the voice of God for that community resulting in immeasurable blessings.
2. Empowering Servant Leadership: Our heart’s desire is to walk humbly before God and one another. As Jesus, our example, we seek not to be served, but to serve; remembering that every seat of authority begins in that place of sacrificial service in the Body.
5. Pursuing Community Transformation: Our goal is to pray for and work towards transformational revival community by community. We believe this transformation will occur when the values and institutions of our communities are overrun by the presence and power of God. Our desire is to see every strata of our society touched and transformed by the Kingdom of God.
3. Mobilizing Unified Fervent Prayer: Our passion is to unite in fervent prayer to release the power and presence of the Kingdom of God in our midst. We believe faith-filled, fervent prayer is our primary weapon to advance the Kingdom of Light in defeating the Kingdom of Darkness.
4. Seeking God’s Strategy: Our focus is to seek God’s strategy and timing to prepare the way for transforming revival. We believe God has called us to join in His work depending on Him for our direction, strength and strategy.

Council Members
Mike Greider, Secretary/Treasurer
Pastor Greider grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and attended Ohio State University. He later transferred and graduated from Ambassador College in Big Sandy, Texas. Upon graduation he worked for the Bell and Howell Education Group in regional sales management. He was given an opportunity to serve at his denominational headquarters in southern California in developing a youth education program for the Worldwide Church of God. He then served as the associate pastor of a large congregation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Seven years later he and his family moved to West Virginia. Today Mike lives in Kenova, West Virginia, with his wife Dana of 26 years and a daughter, Michelle, age 11. His son Daniel, age 23, is a recent graduate of Kentucky Christian College. His son David, age 21, is a recent graduate of Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky.
Pastor Mike Greider currently serves as the senior pastor at the Rock of Grace Church in Huntington, West Virginia. He has served this congregation for the last 20 years. He also serves as the senior pastor of Grace Community Church in South Charleston. He has served as pastor of this congregation for the past 10 years. Both congregations are affiliated with The Worldwide Church of God.
In 1998 Pastor Mike felt a call to unite pastors in the community of Huntington WV. That eventually grew in what has now become Mission Tri-State. Mission Tri-State is a group of about 50 pastors from across the Greater Huntington and Ashland area who are working together for community transformation. Mission Tri-State hosts three bi-monthly pastor prayer meetings along with a weekly multi-denominational intercessors meeting and two bi-monthly meetings for women in ministry. These pastors pray for a number of community leaders on a regular schedule.
Mitch Bias
Mitchell Bias was born in South Williamson, Kentucky, just across the river from Mingo County, West Virginia. He is a lifelong resident of Delbarton, a little coal town in Mingo County, where he serves as Senior Pastor of Regional Church, formerly Delbarton Church of God.
Mitchells grandfather, the late W. H. Compton, served as Pastor of the Delbarton Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), from 1939 to 1992---a record-setting tenure in the denomination. Mitch began his ministry as Youth Pastor on June 1, 1979, under the mentorship of his grandfather. In 1986 he assumed the role of Associate Pastor, and in May 1992, upon Pastor Comptons retirement, he was unanimously elected to serve the church as Senior Pastor.
Mitch and his wife Regina have been married since 1977. They are blessed to have three children--a son, Eric and wife, Melissa; also two teen and preteen daughters, Katie and Kassia. Their children are the joy of their lives. Mitch is an ordained Bishop with the Church of God (1985); he also currently serves on the WV Church of God State Council as well as District Overseer to the southwestern counties of West Virginia. Regina serves as an Associate Pastor and Administrator of Regional Christian School.
In over thirty years of ministry at Regional Church, Mitchell and Regina Bias have been blessed to see tremendous growth and expansion. In a rural community with a population of only 400, Regional Church has a constituency of over 600. The church involves approximately 40 ministries including: Regional Christian, a K4-12th grade school; a weekly TV telecast, Regional Restoration, on internet and local cable; Zion Ministries, a global missions outreach ministering in such countries as Israel and the Ukraine; House of Hope, a transitional housing ministry; and numerous outreaches to children and youth in the region. Regional Church is an apostolic, elder-led ministry, served by a full-time staff of five.
True to the vision imparted by his late grandfather to be married to the land, Mitchell Bias is likewise committed to remain planted in this region of Appalachia. Not only is he determined to bear fruit at Regional Church, but he also has a passion for unity and growth among all Bible-believing churches, pastors and leaders. He serves in helping to lead The Church in The Mountains, a prayer ministry involving a coalition of pastors and church leaders in the Mingo-Pike area. This rich fellowship of pastors has melted the traditional boundaries of denominational lines, meeting each Tuesday morning for prayer and relationship-building.
