Faith Promise Ministry

This is the program we use to support the missions that this church family supports. In October missions are invited to come and update the church family. Pledge cards are distributed and church family members pledge a certain amount per week/month or year to give to support the missions program.

Women's Ministry

We encourage women within and outside the church. We meet those needs by encouraging women to grow in their spiritual giftedness into strong women of faith in Jesus Christ, able to lead others to Christ.
