Congregational Meal – Oct 1, 11:15AM

Our desire is that this faith community will be like a second family for you. To increase the feeling of family, we are hosting a congregational meal on Sunday, October 1st immediately after service. The goal in breaking bread together is that we can break the ice with newcomers and old-timers alike.

All are welcome. We hope to see you there.

Online Giving/Tithing

Offering is a privilege and responsibility for members. Our encouragement is for each member to prayerfully seek God’s guidance for how they ought to be giving in this season. All offering goes towards funding ministries locally and globally.

We encourage the congregation to apply for a personal offering number to allow efficient and accurate recording of offering information.
