TEACHING CHILDREN’S CHURCH TODAY: Josh Bailie Children's Church (ages 4–6th grade) Held during Morning Worship in the Fellowship Hall.
Welcome Pastor Corey Black, wife Marylynn, sons Kolton, 6 and Noah, 18 months!
Beginning today, May 17th, Pastor Black will be preaching both morning and evening services. This Wednesday, May 20th, you will also have the opportunity to hear him teach our Bible study. This will allow our church family to begin prayerfully discerning God’s will together before a vote can take place.
On Sunday, May 24th, he will preach during the morning service, and that evening we will set aside time for the congregation to get to know him better and to meet his family.
The vote regarding his calling is tentatively scheduled for Sunday evening, May 24th following the evening service.
