Weekly Life-Giving Moment
Submit a Life-Giving Moment”During our visit along HWY 249 we met a woman. She was drunk, but accepted the food we gave her and wanted prayer. She prayed with us and said she would not drink anymore and felt God brought us to her. What a beautiful moment! We both had tears in our eyes as we prayed. God is so good to let us share in His love.

Kids & Student Volunteers Needed
Our Kid & Student Ministries volunteers help create a culture of service, compassion, kindness, and discipleship of Jesus Christ. They are extremely important roles for the life of the church and for the growth of future generations. These ministries are asking for passionate and patient volunteers to help teach Kid’s Sunday School or Student Core Groups on Wednesday nights!
