A MESSAGE OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Two things that keep us strong: prayer and open communication. Scripture reminds us in Ephesians 4:3 to make "every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
-
Pray for one another: Let’s continue to lift each other up, asking for wisdom, patience, and a spirit of grace to fill our hearts, our homes, and our church.
-
Stay connected: A simple check-in, a small gesture or a kind word can help remind one another that we are seen, valued, and not alone.
We warmly invite you to reach out to our leadership, whether that be the Pastoral Staff, Deacons, or Trustees. Whether through a simple conversation or a more intentional meeting, we truly want to hear your heart. It is our desire to walk alongside one another with grace, openness, and understanding.
We deeply value your voice and your presence within our church family. May we continue to build together on a foundation of honesty, grace, and love—so that our witness to the world is a true reflection of how faithfully we care for one another.
With gratitude and continued prayers,
The Deacons and Board of Directors
VISION
We are a congregation that lives as a witness of the love of God demonstrated in Jesus Christ. What does it mean to live as a witness of God’s love shown in Jesus Christ? I believe that Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus will shed light on this question and provide us with the way forward. When Jesus says to Nicodemus, “For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.”
I believe that John reveals the depth of God’s love in the words of Jesus. God is willing to give God’s all. God is ready to give God’s best. And if we would accept God’s love, then we would have a life filled with love—enduring love. Further evidence of God’s love can be seen in verse 17. God did not send Jesus into the world to condemn the world. He sent Jesus to save, secure, protect the world.
Our goal as a congregation is to show how much God loves us by giving ourselves to the ministry of our Lord Christ.
