We have $108,600 remaining for the year to collect. We are at 36.4% of our goal (Note: we need to be at 21% each quarter to meet our goal). We have already shed over 2 years of payments and have less than 3 years left on our mortgage! Praise God! We have 8 months to finish this what we started. Let's do this!
Deacons: Who they are, what they do.
Our deacons serve as the trustees for our ministry and assist the pastor in promoting the spiritual welfare of the church. They are available to serve and provide access to you and your family. If you have a question, a prayer request, or would like to communicate a special or specific need, please reach out to your deacon. Of course, you can reach out to any of the deacons, but every deacon has been asssigned to care for a range of letters representing the first letter of each family's last name. Follow the link below to find your deacon.
