We continue our campaign to eliminate $2.8 million in medical debt in the City of Pontiac by working through RIP Medical Debt with a goal to raise a total of $28,000. For every $1 you give, $100 of medical debt is paid.

We are partnering with the Pontiac Community Foundation and they have already pledged $10k toward our goal!

We continue our outdoor worship service with social distancing and limited capacity. This is a reservation-only worship service for the time being so that we can limit the number of people in the garden.

You’ll see the registration link posted on our website under Resources/Online Registration or click below. For phone reservations, call (248) 626-2515.
