NEW WEDNESDAY SCHEDULE Beginning, August 19th, 2015, we are officially changing the time of our Wednesday night ministries to now begin at 6:30 pm. The new schedule will allow our younger children to be able to participate in Mid-week ministry and still get home at an adequate time. Many of our families travel from the surrounding towns and country to come in on Wednesday night and this gives them an additional 30 minutes once they get home. Our senior adults will have more daylight in which to travel back and forth to the church. We encourage you to check out our Wednesday night ministries!
