We're Open for Worship

You Are Welcome to Join Us 

We are finally returning to In-person worship after over two years away.

Things are different. We have lost members whose legacy lives on.

Yet, we serve a God who still cares about us.

This webpage has been created to prepare our members for our return.

Thank you for following the guidance of our volunteers as we attempt to maintain a safe worship environment.

CONCERN
