Highlights
Building Update

Since our last congregational meeting, the elders have asked our church family to pray for clarity over the future of the building plans. As we prepare for how God would lead us together in 2023, there are a few low-cost updates taking place in the foyer and café areas. These changes will help refresh a few areas and will be in alignment with any direction that we might choose in the near future.

Christmas Night of Worship
Sunday, December 04, 6:00 pm

Enjoy a special evening of worship as we celebrate the birth of Jesus by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. We’ll also enjoy dessert afterwards.
