Our Church’s New Vision Our Vision
Living
like Jesus,
bringing Joy to God
In worship today we celebrate our new church vision statement: Living like Jesus, Bringing joy to God. As you leave, be sure and get a vinyl cling that you may put somewhere you’ll see every day (like your bathroom mirror, your refrigerator, etc.) so that it can help shape your daily decisions, choices and activities.
