Church family, will you join us?
Over the next 40 days, we invite you to join us in intentional prayer as we seek the Lord’s guidance for launching a Spanish ministry alongside our current services. We believe God wants to reach more families in our community with the hope of the gospel, and we want to begin well: in prayer.

Unless He builds the house, we labor in vain. But when God’s people pray, He moves.
