Good morning! Welcome to Faith! We are so glad you are with us
this morning! May you experience the love of Christ and His
presence during our worship. We pray you are encouraged and
challenged, as together at Faith, we long to Connect with one
another, Grow in our faith, and Serve our neighbors and one another.
We are studying Matthew 5-7, Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mount.” We
push into how to live a life dedicated to and pleasing to God, free
from hypocrisy, full of love, grace, wisdom and discernment.
During the summer, Faith does not offer any children or adult Sunday
school. Please join us in The Gathering Place following worship for
fellowship while enjoying amazing coffee and delicious cookies! Our
First Steps in Faith Nursery is west of The Gathering Place and
available for infants through 36 months. Please stop by the Welcome
Center with any questions.
