Year-End Giving
Faithful giving is an act of worship and an expression of trust in God. The generosity of our church body shows forth our desire to delight in God's glory, demonstrate his grace, and declare his gospel.

Thank you to those who have recently participated in a survey about indoor worship services. It's not too late to give your feedback:
We desire to safely gather to bring God the praise he rightly deserves, and your feedback is helping as we plan indoor services for the winter months. Two changes we recently implemented:
  • Increased the number of spaces available for households of 1-2 people at the 9:30 service.
  • Added waitlist option.
