NEW COVID-19 Update

Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost Pastor Jonathan Trapp, preaching

Our ministry teams and staff have been busy meeting with our Master Planning consultants completing an analysis of the current use of our facilities. Now that the analysis work is done, it is time to begin the creative, imaginative part of our planning In the next few months, our consultants will lead us through discerning how we can best develop our campus to enhance our ministries, strengthen our financial future, and enlarge our impact in this community and region.

If during the 48 hours prior to worship you have been feeling ill or believe you might have been exposed to COVID 19 in the past 5 days, please join us online for worship.

While our Ministry Teams have already been invited to participate, everyone in the congregation is encouraged to attend any of the gatherings that interest them. These two hour gatherings will be in person and online, and the insights and results will be posted on a special page on our website
