Beloved friends, In the words of Joanna Weber, “It’s a new week.” For some, this is a great encouragement; you’re excited to take on new challenges with a fresh start.

Pastor Post: April 1, 2021

Dear Church Family, Happy April Fool’s Day. I became a fool for Christ over 25 years ago. Admittedly, I came to Christ primarily regarding the guilt of my sin and the condemnation of my soul.

From the pastor.

Dear Church family, On Monday, I went on a ride along with a police officer who expressed how challenging policing has become in recent years. On Tuesday I sat in a hospital room with a mid-30 year old man in constant pain (the I.V. pain killer hardly helped). On Wednesday, I heard a retired pastor […]

A Christmas Reflection and Call to Action – 2020

As Christmas Day 2020 nears, and the year 2020 moves to its close, I write this reflection and call to action… An unplanned pregnancy, trip, birth, and departure. Those are just 4 pieces that cloud the birth of Jesus Christ in chaos. Mary didn’t expect to get pregnant. A Roman census forced late pregnancy travel […]

Christmas 2020 Events

Don’t let these next six words come off trite. God loves you. I love you. We have an amazing God, and I am so thankful to be a part of this church family. Now onto Christmas…Though the Christmas season may look a bit different in 2020, our great teams and volunteers are working hard to make each week […]
