Today Pastor Paul is beginning a sermon series from the book of Mark, entitled, "Jesus Christ, the Suffering Servant". We hope you will be encouraged and challenged by this important study this summer.
Today, we officially welcome our new youth pastor, Bridger Rice!

We are delighted that Bridger is joining our leadership team. Please remember Bridger and Addie in your prayers as they begin their life and ministry together.
We will be taking a break from Adult Sunday School classes from now until fall. We encourage you to keep reading your Bible through the summer!
