A Message from Rev. Philip Rhodes, Senior Pastor

We are all living in unprecedented times, but we are learning new ways of living and being.
Our church reopening team has been meeting every couple of weeks and looking at data to determine when we could reopen for in-person worship. The team met last week and set a target date of October 4 for 8:30 a.m. worship. This is a goal, but may change based on new data. Watch for updates after September 15.

In-person worship will look different:

Masks will be required.
Hand sanitizer will be provided.
No coffee fellowship or other fellowship time.
A video with procedures from parking lot to pew and back to parking lot will be coming soon.
Our 11:00 a.m. online worship will still continue.

Please continue to pray for our church. May we all stay well, while remaining in connection.

Here are some ways you can stay connected:
