Faith Questions

Ask Your Pastors


Do you have questions about faith, God, or the church? We want to hear them! Our pastors are taking time this week to respond to questions that you submit: lacasadecristo.com/questions – don’t miss the opportunity to hear responses to your questions live this weekend in worship at the 10:30 service. You can come to that service and submit your questions live in worship as well and the pastors will prayerfully respond to them. Together, we walk in faith.

Drum roll, please....


In the most EPIC effort to get Pastor Jeff to sing LIVE at all the services this coming weekend, you all completely outdid yourselves this August by bringing in 20,668 (you read that right!) boxes of Mac 'n Cheese, 6,502 more than last August!! Our minds are blown and our feelings of gratitude are off the charts! The PV Community Food Bank is most thankful for the generosity of La Casa de Cristo! Bravo!!
