Fall Ministry Fair

Come together for our Fall Church Ministry Fair on September 28, where we'll delve into how God invites us to be grounded in faith and engaged in service. This is an excellent chance to learn about the various ministries in our church, connect with them, and discover your role in growing and serving. Whether you're a newcomer or seeking to enhance your involvement, there's a place for you!
