Our buildings are closed but our church is not!
While we have suspended physical gatherings for now, we remain the church. And while social distancing is our temporary norm, God is not at all distanced from us. Listed below are opportunities for spiritual growth. For more information on each opportunity, please see the church newsletter or the church website.
