Back from Sabbatical, Prayer, PACKHOPE Event (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/3)

Thank you all for your prayers during my Sabbatical. It was good to take a break. And I had a good visit with my mom and started the process to get her some help.

During my Sabbatical, I got confirmation on next year's church theme already. The theme will be on Prayer. We need to get back to prayer...individual prayer, family prayer, and corporate prayer in the church. Jesus said that His church should be a house of prayer. To prepare ourselves, we're going to have prayer and fasting during the week of 12/2. Each day we'll be fasting from something different and it will culminate with a prayer rally on that Friday evening. More details to come.

Speaking of prayer, Our next Church-Wide Prayer Gathering will be Tuesday, 11/5, from 7-8pm. Everyone is invited to join us as we focus on specific prayer needs. You can submit your prayer requests on the church website. We also have Prayer & Testimony Service on Wednesday, 11/6, from 6-7pm.


Please join us for our PACKHOPE Event on 11/16. We'll be packing 60,000 seeds for people around the world. There are three different sessions you can register for:
  • 9:00am – 11am 
  • 12:00pm-2:00pm 
  • 2:30pm-4:30pm 
If you are unable to attend or you if you have the means to support us, please provide a charitable donation towards the purchase of seeds.

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 ...
