I give you peace, the kind of peace only I can give.
John 14:27
It isn’t like the peace the world can give.
So don’t be worried or afraid.
Our Doors are Open
We have monitored guidelines and best practices for gathering in a safe way. After a significant amount of prayer and preparation, we opened our doors on June 13 + 14! We’re committed to creating an environment that meets government recommendations for safety. To make that possible, our weekend services have been redesigned to create a sanitary environment that allows for physical distancing.

SMALL GROUPS
Small Groups are especially important during this time when many people have needs and may be experiencing stress or isolation. Most groups have now switched to make it possible to be part of your group online using free tools like Google Hangouts and Zoom. In some instances, groups are still having smaller numbers of people gather in person, while of course observing all the necessary precautions around group size, social distancing and asking those who are unwell to join online. If you belong to a Small Group and aren’t sure if your group is meeting in person or online, contact your Small Group Leader.
