It is not easy to cope after a loved one dies. Therefore, Pastor Nixon has met the need for a Ministry entitled – “THE GIFT of COMFORT”. This Ministry will hold a "MEET AND GREET" on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14TH FROM 11AM-1PM in the Conference Room. If your loved one has died and you need a place to share your grief and to experience the love of Jesus in your life, come – we will meet you here. If you’re the survivor of the death of a loved one you are welcome to attend this reception planned just for you. Elder Genovia Brewington is our guest speaker.

Children are one of God’s greatest blessings. It’s Important to help them grow in faith. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce that our Children's Church is back! We cater to young minds to teach children important life lessons that will help them grow into healthy, responsible adults while teaching children about their Best Friend and Savior– Jesus! If you're a family with children ages 4 and up, this might be something you want to check out!

Thank you to our volunteers that make this possible. You are greatly appreciated and we want to acknowledge and encourage you that serving in this area releases parents to be able to focus on the service and enjoy time together - so thank you! Again, CHILDREN’S CHURCH will be held EACH 4TH SUNDAY for AGES 4 AND UP.
