Welcome from the Senior Pastor What a privilege we have to worship God together as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, this month. God has given us the greatest gift and that gift lives inside of us. Giving our life back to Him is our gift back to Him. May His life in us and through us declare to those around us that in the midst of great darkness the light of the world has come.
!“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23
