Doors and events may be closed but God is still with us and God’s work continues.
Due to COVID 19 and its quick moving spread across our communities, all in-person events at the Church are postponed until further notice. Once state and local health officials deem it safe for in-person meetings, we will resume our normally scheduled activities.
For the foreseeable future, we will be hosting our Sunday 10:30 am service on the Church website HERE. Tune in to stay up to date and connect with others from our community in this time of need.
