Attention church family!

PENTECOST 2025 - REFRAMING THE NARRATIVE
Join us for a five-week series starting this Sabbath, October 4th, at 11:00 am. A social hour (AROMA HOUR) will follow each church service. This series will focus on powerful prayers for renewal, unity, and transformation. Don’t miss this chance—invite your friends and family today and join us in this inspiring spiritual journey together!

Prayer Ministry

When we pray for others, we increase the likelihood that God will not only answer that prayer but bless us for praying that prayer. As God once said to Abraham, "I will bless those who bless you." Position yourself for greater blessings by praying unselfishly.
