This weekend we gathered together for a special Farewell Service and Luncheon honoring Pastor Kim as she begins a new chapter in ministry. While we will miss her dearly, we are so grateful for the love, guidance, faith, and dedication she has shared with our church family.

Pastor Kim has been a blessing to our congregation, and her impact will be felt for years to come. We thank her for faithfully serving our church and community, and we wish her nothing but God’s richest blessings as she moves on to serve another church.

Please join us in praying for Pastor Kim during this transition and in wishing her the very best on her new journey. You will be greatly missed!
