Dear Members,

We get our cues from Christ, which means that we won’t do things the way the world does them. For example, a disciple of Christ won’t do business the way the world does business. A disciple won’t view morality the way the world views morality.

The Bible teaches us that true wisdom comes from God and not the world. Please continue to pray for the wisdom of our Senior Pastor as he makes decisions in planning the future direction of our church. Click below to hear from Dr. Evans.
