Doors to the Family Life Center open at 6:00 for hanging out and games. We will start the study at 6:30 and be done by 7:30. We would love for you to join us and invite family and friends to come!

The Wondrous Cross

Attention all! As you drive by or visit our church, take a moment to admire the beautiful cross located to the right of our main entrance.

Look for the color of the sash to change each day, reflecting the significance of the holy week. A big thank you to Sherry, Ann and Jimmy for making this beautiful cross possible! To God Be The Glory!
