This Month’s

Outreach Ministry Partnership

Our in House Ministry

Church family, we want to draw your attention to three key areas of need already part of our church’s budget, but now in special focus:

Ministry Fund - This supports all our ministry efforts in the community, youth, adults, outreach, and discipleship. Every dollar goes toward real impact.

Building Fund - Helps maintain and improve our church building, from necessary repairs to future projects.

Seminary & Continuing Education Fund - Supports your pastor’s journey toward ordination and will continue to support education for future leaders.

These are not new funds - just faithful reminders of the vision God has given us. Thank you for your continued generosity and prayerful support as we grow together in faith and mission.
