ATTENTION ALL MEN!
Join us for a night of food and fellowship and a personal testimony!

Free blood pressure checks sponsored by our Senior Ministry. Will be available in the church lobby before and after service.

Are you a hand?  Are you a foot?  Are you an ear?  Spiritual gifts are separate from natural skills and abilities.  The purpose of learning your spiritual gifts is not to just find a place to serve in ministry at church, it’s about discovering what drives you; discovering what you’re passionate about. It’s about learning who God created you to be.

Register here for this class today. Deadline for registration is August 17, 2025.

We are asking our church body to bring donations of new, unopened boxes of diapers to Encounter during our regular services on Sunday morning. Your donations will be distributed by our Children’s Pantry to those in need right here in our community.
