Due to high COVID-19 cases and Governor Lee's executive order advising against gatherings larger than ten people through Jan. 20th, we will continue to pause in person worship at least through January 17th. If local data indicates a significant decline in positive test results and progress in vaccine distribution we hope to resume in person worship on January 24th with precautions.

We will offer drive up communion on Sunday Jan. 3rd from 2:30pm-3:30pm. Come anytime during this hour and simply find a parking spot and remain in your vehicle. Our pastor will bring communion to you using individually sealed juice and wafer sets while wearing a facemask and gloves.
