GROW in faith,
BUILD relationships, and
SERVE all people.

 


STEWARDSHIP FOR 2017 – THANK YOU!

We would like to offer our sincere appreciation to all who made contributions to the church in 2017.  We are very blessed to have finished 2017 with a net income of $11,258.08, especially when we still had a net deficit of ($120,085.08) as of November 30, 2017.  For such a turn around, we give thanks to the Lord, to all who gave during the year, and to so many who went the extra mile. Thanks so much for your generosity and love for our church.
