COVID Update
Amid the current surge of COVID cases we want to continue together to care for our church family and help folks feel comfortable, as well pray and ask for God’s protection and healing during this time. We have placed a few simple air cleaners in Horner Hall and some other rooms to help cycle in fresh air. Additionally, we continue to ask everyone to wear a mask at all times when inside the building (unless presenting or helping to lead worship).
