Behind The Scenes Look At The Praise Team

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take a second to give you a little "behind the scenes" look at our Praise Team. We are not trying to "make it" or be a contestant on a musical reality show. We are simply using the resources God has given us to serve and worship Him. Hopefully, others join to worship Him as well. This was our prayer before the first note was struck Sunday, "God, the music we play today was created by you and for you. May the words, instruments, and harmonies be pleasing to you. May it direct our gaze and hearts to you this morning." Whether from the stage or from the pew, all worship is for Him! Use your voices and abilities from the pews or the stage. All of it honors Him! - Pastor James Photo by Marius Masalar on Unsplash

We are thankful everyday for God allowing us to lead you, His people.  I am also grateful for the progress we have made in the last few months of our “Mission To M.A.R.S” Ministry Model. Additional Deacons have been voted into service, the elected Leadership Recruitment Team has met and we have begun the coaching process by meeting with our First Impressions Team. We all must be  grateful for the critical elements God has established and given us, which make our mission possible. Now that our leadership team is beginning to move, we are in the recruitment phase of staffing our teams for lift off. You Are the Fuel for Lift Off! This is the most challenging initial phase, requiring immense effort and momentum to get our teams and ministries operational and effective. Just as a rocket requires tremendous effort and fuel to overc...
  Mark Your Calendars: Thanksgiving Soup & Sandwich Dinner One of our favorite church traditions is just around the corner! We will be gathering as a church family for our recurring Thanksgiving Soup and Sandwich Dinner on Tuesday, November 25th, at 6:00 PM. This is a special, informal time to connect, share a meal, and express our gratitude to God and to one another.
