📣 A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR: 📣

Out of an abundance of caution and concern for our members with health challenges, we are applying wisdom and canceling morning worship service today.

Also, we close out our 7-Day fast asking the Lord to order our steps at 12p noon.

Please continue seeking God's wisdom, clarity and direction for Growth Center Church and the place He has prepared for us.

May God's love and grace remain on us,
Pastor James Taylor, Jr.

The next move begins with prayer... and fasting. 👣🙏🏽

Church family, we're inviting you to join us for our 7-day fast entitled, "Lord, Order Our Steps." This week, we are seeking God's wisdom, clarity, and direction for the next move of Growth Center Church AND our lives.

Each day, we'll pray together, surrender together, and trust God to lead us into the place He has prepared.

"In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." — Proverbs 3:6

✨ Whether you're fasting from food, social media, or other distractions, make room for God's voice this week.

Comment 🙌🏽 if you're joining us and tag someone who should fast with you.

Happy 20th Preaching Anniversary Pastor James Taylor, Jr.!!! 🙌🏾

For two decades, you have boldly and unapologetically proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ. From praying with strangers on the street to preaching behind the pulpit, the mission has remained the same—to point people to Christ and help them grow in Him.

Your ministry has extended far beyond Sunday mornings. You have:
✨ Prayed for and counseled countless individuals and families
✨ Raised up/mentored ministers and leaders
✨ Created opportunities for others to walk in their God-given gifts
✨ Always led with humility, integrity and unwavering faith
✨ Served faithfully while remaining a present, loving husband and father

Pastor, thank you for saying, "Yes," to God's call and for faithfully serving His people year after year.

We honor your commitment, celebrate your legacy and look forward with great expectation for what God will do next through you. ❤️

Drop a ❤️, 🙌🏾 or share a favorite moment to celebrate our Pastor in the comments below.
