Paul and Eunice Hudson are called by God to pastor a small dwindling church. Samuel is an older Elder within the chuch who is blessed to have Paul and Eunice come into their small town church. Stephen is a man fresh out of rehab with a need to stay on the right track with God. All seems to be doing well, until it appears that the work being down within the church is more for the glory of Paul than the glory of God.

He seemed like the perfect pastor to lead Cernterville Christian Church. She seemed like the perfect pastor's wife.

When Paul Hudson eagerly accepted the call to pastor the struggle church, he had no idea what to expect. He only hoped he could please the Lord with his plans and hard work. Together, Paul, his wife Eunice, and their son Tim packed up and moved halfway across the country to do the Lord's work.

It didn't take long for Paul to turn Centerville Christian Church around. Attendance was up, way up. People came to hear the charismatic Paul Hudson preach. The choir added members, ad the children's program was at an all time high. A building program was in the works. Everything was going so well. If only his wife could see it his way. Still, he tried no to let her quiet presence disturb him.
