Theological Seminar, Mental Health Awareness Month, Tornado Love Offering (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/6)

Register for our upcoming Theological Seminar on 5/26 featuring Pastor Jerome Gay of Vision Church talking about the Black Hebrew Israelite movement and their misconception of the Law. Register online or with Connection Card.



Sis. Janelle Wallace announced that the Young Adults Ministry would like for all of the women to participate on Mother’s Day, May 13th, by wearing your SUNDAY’S BEST, including your finest Church Hat!! Refreshments will be available after service.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
  • Christians are not immune to mental health issues. We need to break the stigma about mental health (in the church and the African-American community).
  • There is nothing wrong with seeking help.  Get counseling if needed.  Take medication if needed.
  • During this month, I'll be sending out articles and resources about mental health from a biblical perspective to the church's mailing list.  If you're not already subscribed to the mailing list, go to bottom of our website and submit your email address in the the "Hear From Us" form.

Today, we are raising a love offering for the Greensboro Tornado victims. We will be partnering with New Jerusalem Cathedral in Greensboro. A lot of churches are doing good work but I especially like what this church is doing.

If you're giving online to the love offering, make sure to put a note that says Greensboro Tornado.

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community.   ---     Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’   This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season.   --- History of the Vision         Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...

My Hope Sunday, M:T Not a Competition, Prayer Gathering (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/13)

Today was My Hope Sunday ! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior".  Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need!  Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Today, my wife shared her My Hope Testimony .   (RSS Subscribers: click here to watch the video) Missions:Together’s "Not a Competition" is a powerful missions gathering designed to re-ignite your passion for missions on Saturday, November 2, hosted at The Summit Church in Apex.
