Connecting Our Community with Christ

Strong and rooted,

Soaring and reaching,

Vibrant and fruitful,

Sheltering and comforting.

The Pentecost Offering

will be received

Sunday, May 28


Help youth begin life with a solid foundation of faith.


Psalm 71 testifies that a foundation of faith established during childhood helps ensure lifelong faith and service. The patterns and lessons established during these formative years continue to bear fruit throughout a person's life. By donating to the Pentecost Offering, you are nurturing the faith of those who are the church to come — children, youth, and young adults.
