2025 Church Theme: "On Mission"   As we prepare to step into a new year, our church family is excited to embrace the 2025 theme: “On Mission.” This powerful theme calls us to align every aspect of our lives with God's purposes, particularly the call to share the gospel and demonstrate His love to others. Being "on mission" is more than a phrase—it's a way of life. It challenges us to see the everyday moments of our lives—our work, relationships, community involvement, and daily activities—as divine opportunities to reflect Christ and advance His Kingdom. This year, we’ll journey together to deepen our understanding of what it means to live "on mission" and, most importantly, to put it into practice.  As we go through 2025, expect opportunities to grow spiritually, engage in outreach, and see God move in transformative ways. Let’s commit together to live with intentionality, seeing every interaction as an opportunity to demonstrate Christ’s love...

Merry Christmas to All!     Today, we had a wonderful Christmas Worship Service with singing, dance, signing, and a brief sermon to help us Worship the King . As we celebrate this Christmas season, I pray that you experience the true joy of Christmas: Knowing that our Savior was born to save His people from their sins. Regardless of what you find under the tree this year, remember that the greatest gift of all was hung on the tree for our salvation. That gift, Jesus Christ, is available to all who place their faith in Him. Let this be a time to reflect on the immeasurable love God has for us.  ---  A Special Announcement We rejoice as Bro. Daquon Johnson has rededicated his life to Christ ! This decision is a beautiful reminder of God’s ongoing work in our lives and His faithfulness in calling us back to Him. Please keep Daquon in your prayers as he grows in faith and walks closely with the Lord.  ---  New Year’s Eve Service: A Night of Gratitude and Worshi...

It’s a visual reminder of both the abundance of God’s Word available to us and the need for translation in many parts of the world.
