Worship from Home
Though we can’t be together in person, there are many ways we are still being together virtually as a community! Join us at one of these services, learning opportunities, or for prayer.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Join Us for Weekly Intercessory Prayer
If you are anxious about the election, overwhelmed by COVID, weary from the heat and the fires, stressed out about online schooling, or grieving the racial injustice in our nation this is a call to pray together.
Our goal is to encourage each other as people of God who embody faith, hope, and love. Join us each Tuesday from 2-3pm.
