Welcome to Our Newest Members!

On November 13, Pastor Jack asked, “Is the life of faith worth it, especially if we aren’t seeing the outcomes we hope for?” The answer is a resounding YES! Hebrews 11:35b-40 calls us to live lives of faith no matter the outcome, like the believers of old who endured persecution with their hope fixed on their heavenly home.
