Our 2016 THEME is: Experience God
. From our salvation experience, we are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). This year, let's "Experience God" in "new" ways that will catapult us to higher heights and a greater urgency to growth toward spiritual maturity. Our foundational Scripture is: 2 Peter 1:3-10.

Community outreach is vitally important in the life of the local church as we share God's Word outside of our walls and expose God's love to others.As a result, the Family Crisis Center in Brentwood, MD, has extended an invitation to Pastor Johnson to serve as an honorary member of their board of directors.
From this wonderful day, our church received exposure through a local newspaper:
