WHY ARE WE HERE
You may have noticed something new on the front of our Sunday morning bulletin. A new statement. It is our church’s new adopted purpose or mission statement. It states why we exist or why we believe God has placed this church here. Next week Pastor Keith will begin a new sermon series explaining the value of a mission statement and what this statement means for our church family. Be sure to join us for this series!!!

Help us welcome Ava! We are grateful and excited to have her!
