Facilities |
|
A building is not a church: rather, the church is God's family, gathered together for worship and service! Nevertheless, we are blessed to have a church facility that enables the ministry God has called us to do, and that allows us a spacious and beautiful place to gather for worship and fellowship. Enjoy this virtual tour of our facilities!
