Church During the Pandemic Crisis
- Hebrews 10:24-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
During this time of uneasiness, we need Christ more than ever. We don't want you to miss out of HIS Word. Even though we slowly transitioning to be able to congregate in the physical building right now, we always want to reach and teach you wherever you are. As Christ dwells in our hearts through our faith, let us not forget the importance of fellowship right now. We have the below opportunities available for you learn and fellowship with us. Don't just stop here, keep scrolling down to learn more about the church and our other opportunities for fellowship that will be available once we can congregate again. Be on the lookout for our continued plans for in-person services, Church in the Parking Lot services and other Virtual Events.

How Do I Get Involved?
We offer ministries to educate, enrich, or comfort you during every stage of your life. It doesn’t matter if you are a babe in Christ or a mature Christian, we are continuously developing ministries and events to meet the needs of the community and mature their relationship with God. Being a member of a church is more than just hearing God’s word on Sunday, it’s about developing a relationship with God. We encourage you to be active in the church, use your spiritual gifts, and experience growth as you help others to grow by sharing your testimonies. Proverbs 27:17 - Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
