We have gathered numerous resources in order to help you engage this moment, to walk out faithfulness to Jesus in the midst of this upheaval.
What if we engaged with this moment head on? Determined to re-engage our discipleship to Jesus. Determined to be with Jesus, to become like Jesus, in order to do what Jesus did. Determined to walk our children through this moment; engaging their fears and questions with grace, showing them what real faith in Jesus Christ looks like. Determined to be a beacon of hope and peace to our neighbors and in our community.
As per the Shelter in Place order, we won’t be gathering on Sundays, April 5, April 12, April 19, April 26, or May 3.
If you, a member of our community, happen to contract COVID-19, please reach out to us! We want to pray for you, get updates on your health and provide/support you in any way possible.
