Faith in God To Provide in Abundance

Consider the ways that God has blessed you and think about the ways that you have been blessed through our congregation. Our goal this year is to increase support for the general fund by eight percent (8%) over the prior year of giving. It is a goal driven by the tremendous needs of our community, by the increasing costs of everything, and mostly, by the trust and faith we have in God to provide in abundance. We ask that you make a new financial commitment for the coming year by clicking here. Please prayerfully consider how you might help us reach our goal and do the work God has called us to do. 

GRACE NOTES: MARKING TIME

This past Sunday was the first week of Advent. It was the first week of the Church’s calendar. Advent marks a beginning. Advent marks a time of looking. Advent marks a time of waiting for the Christ child.
