This is particularly helpful if you are new to our church family.

TEACHING

Nov. 1: Election: Jesus for President. Americans will cast their vote for the next president next Tuesday. Every election is important because each candidate represents a vision for our nation. Yet, as important as the American election is, there is a more important election that takes place daily. It is the decision to cast the ballot of one's life for or against Jesus. Join us Sunday as we address the election anxiety many face by offering three ways to vote for Jesus.
