I’m Going Last!

Would you prayerfully consider Going Last? We need a few hundred people to commit to Going Last and move to our new 12:30 service time so that we can welcome as many as possible to worship Jesus with us this August.

Please note that Nursery, Preschool, and Children’s Ministry will not be available during the 12:30 service. However, the nursing mom’s room with livestream feed will be available for use.
