"WE ARE THE CHURCH"
This Sunday: "The Church is to be Unified - and We Protect it" (Pastor Chad)
The Church of Jesus Christ is made up of imperfect people, but we serve a perfect Savior who has a world-changing purpose for us. When we follow after Him as a redeemed family, Jesus will challenge our preconceived notions of what a church is, exceed our expectations for what this community can be, and leave us saying with a smile, We Are The Church!
