Dear Members,
A popular belief in our culture about truth is that there are many kinds of truths that are different for everyone. As Christians, we know truth is based on the reality of God because there is no reality apart from God. And for truth to be truth, it must also conform to the nature of God.
We are so blessed as a church family for the uncompromised teaching of the Word of God by our Senior Pastor, Dr. Evans. Continue to pray for his strength and God’s guidance as Dr. Evans continues to hold true to God’s word in the public arena. Click below to hear from Dr. Evans.
Wednesday Nights in August
Join us TONIGHT, at 8 pm, for Meaningful Conversations when Anthony Evans, Jr., explores the personal and spiritual journey and impact of Dr. Tony Evans’ life, family and ministry.
