What's up? 

We wrapped up our Gifted to Serve series last weekend, and we hope you've had an opportunity to take the spiritual gift inventory to begin discovering how you can serve in the way God has shaped you. Our members voted overwhelmingly to buy the 10 acres of land on Prices Fork that will be the future home of our ministry center. On top of that, we're preparing to go back to our school schedule on Sundays with two services and launch our r12 series and small groups! We hope you'll be in prayer and ready to serve as God leads us forward in ministry and love in these days.
