As our members—from children to adults—serve through feeding programs, campus ministry, and nursing home visits, we’ve seen God’s blessings and steady growth. With our borrowed worship space no longer meeting our expanding needs, our longing for a true, dedicated place of worship grows stronger.</h4> <p> To support this vision, we are holding a Benefit Concert.
