Good morning! Welcome to Faith! We are so glad you took the time to seek God with us this morning. We pray you are blessed, encouraged, fed, and challenged, as together we seek to become “transformed disciples who share the love of Jesus with the world.”
We are in a 31-week series entitled, “BELIEVE”, where we examine the important tenants of our faith. Our challenge, if we truly believe those things, how are we living it out in our lives? It is our call to THINK, ACT, and BE like Jesus.
Sunday school meets at 9:35am in the lower level for three year olds through adults. We warmly welcome and invite you and your family to participate in this time of connecting and growing!
If you are visiting with us this morning, we invite you for a time of fellowship in the FLC at 9:35 a.m. For those with children, our nursery is located in the “monkey” room in the basement. It is available for infants to two years old. We warmly welcome you to Faith!
