hepherd’s staff
May Jesus Christ be praised! I am privileged to serve a wonderful congregation with an outstanding staff. God has blessed us through the years with His faithfulness spurring on our faithfulness. We are well into the beginning of a new church year. Plans are being made to celebrate our 140th anniversary throughout 2017. Each celebration will highlight the love of God as revealed to us in Christ Jesus over 2,000 years ago. We are participants in the flow of history which really is the flow of HisStory. Thank you for worshiping God, welcoming one another, and witnessing of our Lord through your service.

“Every member is a minister.” “You are a missionary wherever you are.” Worship, Welcome, and “Witness”. Make disciples “as you go”. “Marketplace missionary”. We say it different ways yet express the same idea: we are all called into ministry when we are saved. Our church seeks to equip every believer to faithfully represent Christ and proclaim the mighty acts of God as we go. Be blessed as you seek to be the Presence of Christ where you are today. Looking forward, Ted Duncan
GOD BLESS YOU ON YOUR BIRTHDAY !
