Beginning Sunday, September 1 we will be moving to one service at 9:00am.  We will also be starting a series of "100 Days of Break Through."  We have had many set backs during our rebuilding process, so for the next 100 days we will memorize and meditate on the word of God and include prayer and fasting.
We are looking forward to moving forward and trusting God for new BREAKTHROUGH!

ground breaking celebration

Our Ground Breaking Celebration was an amazing event.  Even though it was New Year's Eve we had almost 100 people in attendance for support.  Our County Supervisor Chuck Washington also attended with his aid Opal Helwig.  We are so thankful for Dennis & Lulu Massawi  and our children's choir for the music and Clark Edmond for exciting drumming fun.  Most of all, the Glory goes to God!

One year later

It has been one year and 8 days since the church was completely destroyed by an arsonist.  His trial has been delayed until the end of June and maybe July 2017. 
We continue to move forward with our re-building.  We have our final plans from the architect, meeting with builders and we have favor with the County Officials.  They have encouraged us that they will cooperate with us with permits and planning.  Please continue to pray for us as God leads us forward into a new facility.  AMEN

Progress on rebuild

3/7/2017

     It's going on 10 months since the fire.  It was officially declared an arsonist.  in fact this week begins his trial.  it hasn't officially been determined if the man they have in custody actually set the church fire, but he has been charged with the fire in the parsonage.
     We have been meeting with an architect who has provided plans on our new rebuild.  These plans will be submitted to the county to determine what the next steps will be and what permits will be needed to move forward. 
     please continue to pray for all the planners and county officials who will be involved in this next process.
