Why do we take communion and more importantly…How do I properly take communion?

Why do we pray and maybe more importantly…How do I pray?

Why do we baptize and maybe more importantly…Should I be baptized?

Join us as we answer all your Why Questions in the simplest way possible!

Communion – It’s a better meal than you think.

    2024 Meal Pack For Hungry Families In Haiti

    Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 16. The Meal Pack is an event where we partner with Lifeline Christian Mission to pack nutritious meals to be sent to hungry families in Haiti.
     

    Each meal is $.30 and we are raising $10,000 to pay for those meals. We also want to have some fun while raising this money and M & M’s are fun right?

    Pick up M & M tubes at any church campus, eat the M & M’s and Return the M & M tubes filled with quarters or paper money by September 15. The money received will be used to fund the Meal Pack.
