Announcements

  • Pastor Kristen's Book Club

    Pastor Kristen’s Book Club is already underway as part of our adult education opportunities, and you are warmly invited to join us. We gather monthly—typically on the fourth Thursday of the Month.

    This Month's book:

    LEADING WELL -JEANNE PORTER KING  (2023)

    Black women in leadership positions often experience resistance, both from external forces and from within. In this book, author, consultant, and inspirational teacher and speaker Jeanne Porter King offers inspiration, encouragement, and practical tools to make leading well a reality. Drawing from the biblical account of the Samaritan woman at the well, King helps women learn to lead from a strong spiritual core rather than a set of expectations they had no part in setting. Available on Audible and in Print.

  • Lenten Worship Series

    Join us for our Lenten Worship Series, "Encounters with Jesus." We will worship together each week of Lent as we approach the cross of Good Friday and the empty tomb of Easter Sunday. This sermon series will go from Sun Feb 22 until Sun Apr 5. 

    Worship is at 10 AM each Sunday. We'll save a pew for you! 

  • Youth & Grad Sunday

    Youth Sunday is May 3, 2026, with worship at 10 AM led by our youth and with a special graduation recognition moment. Immediately following the service, we will have a cake reception in the Fellowship Hall to celebrate our grads.
