Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️

We are so grateful to everyone who came out and supported the fundraiser meal for Hunter Kinnison as he continues his journey through seminary. Your generosity—whether through donations, helping hands, or simply showing up—means more than words can express.

Because of you, Hunter is one step closer to following the call God has placed on his life. Thank you for being part of his ministry story and for lifting him up through your kindness, prayers, and fellowship.

May God bless you all! 🙏

For our 165th anniversary, we celebrated faith across the generations!

We rejoiced as our Confirmation class affirmed their faith and stepped forward in their journey with Christ. These hearts are full of promise, purpose, and love for the Lord!

At the same time, we give thanks for the wisdom and steadfast faith of our beloved members who are 80 years and older. Your lives are a testimony of God’s enduring grace and the strength of a life rooted in Him.

From our youngest to our most seasoned members, we see the beauty of God’s work in every stage of life. What a blessing to be one church, one family, united in Christ!

“One generation shall commend Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.” – Psalm 145:4
