“With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you
worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every
desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. We pray this so
that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him,
​according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
 
 
How God would grow His church:
 
Give us a worthy objective
(salvation for us and others)
 
Give us a vital fellowship
with each other

Christmas Parade Reception
This Tuesday, November 28, we will host our annual Christmas Parade Reception. We hope you will be able to join us as we welcome the community into our church following

This is always a big event for us and we need as much help as we can get. Whether you bake cookies, help set up, help serve, or help with clean up. We appreciate the volunteers who make this event possible!
