🔥 EASTER SUNDAY 🔥

This year hits different.

Pastor King brings a powerful message:
“It Was Meant for Me!”

Experience the cross through the voice of Barabbas—the guilty man set free while Jesus took his place.
What if the cross… had your name on it?

Plus Communion—remembering not just that He got up… but what it cost.
It was meant for me… but Jesus took my place.

Clergy Conference 2026 was nothing short of a blessing—restorative and refueling for the journey ahead. Our church was especially proud to witness our very own Rev. Yolonda Clarke faithfully operating in the assignment of worship leader. What a beautiful fellowship, and what a divine joy it was to experience together!
