⭐️Get to know Corday Goddard⭐️

After many years working in college and university student affairs, Corday now brings his passion for supporting and guiding others into ministry. He values worship as an opportunity to reflect on the Gospel's call to justice for "the least, the last, and the lost," and loves preaching the good news in ways that inspire people to learn, feel, and act. Corday is an avid cook and cookbook collector, he enjoys exploring cuisines from around the world. He and his wife will celebrate 36 years of marriage this July, have two adult children, and share their home with Norman, the stray cat who adopted them.

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows" - Matthew 10:29-31

💙👨👴🏻 We give thanks for fathers, grandfathers, and all who have shared their strength, wisdom, and care. We honor the love that nurtures, the hands that serve, and the hearts that guide. May we celebrate the gifts of those who have walked beside us, remember those who are no longer with us, and find comfort in the love that holds us all. Happy Father’s Day!

⭐️ Pastoral candidate, Corday Goddard, will be joining us to preach on June 28th. We look forward to welcoming Corday and exploring the possibility of a future ministry together.

♥️ We even take pride in our problems, because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope. This hope doesn’t put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
