On March 10, 1991, Jerry Bailey resigned as Minister of Education and Youth to assume the position of Minister of Education and Discipleship at Gorham Baptist Church in Jackson, Michigan, effective April 8, 1991.

At the conference on May 15, 1991, the church voted to sponsor a new mission at Castlewood Mobile Home Park to be named Castlewood Chapel. Eddie Barton lead all services there on a volunteer basis. On July 17, it was announced that there had been 5 professions of faith at Castlewood the previous Sunday. God was doing a mighty work at this mission.

Jeff Nave and Wendy Peal were hired as Summer Youth Directors on June 19, 1991. Jeff was paid slightly more than Wendy because he would be using his automobile in service. A permanent, part time Youth Director would be hired at a later date.
