"We belong to Christ before we belong to any nation." 🌍

The church was never a national project. From the 12 disciples to the Great Commission, the circle has always been widening — across borders, languages, and passports.

We're excited to share that a long-awaited renovation of our Sanctuary floor is coming this June! This important project will help preserve and beautify our worship space for years to come.

Beginning Sunday, June 7, all summer worship services will be held in our 5th floor Fellowship Hall — and our Zoom community can still join as always! 💻

We look forward to gathering together in the cool, air-conditioned space and will keep you updated as the project moves forward. Stay tuned!
