Mentoring Program

Interested in being a mentor or having someone to mentor you as you travel along your spiritual journey? Spiritual mentoring is when someone comes alongside another as a companion on their spiritual journey. Adults can mentor other adults, children and youth. Youth can mentor children, etc. Usually, it will be to help them establish solid foundational habits that will help them grow (like fertilizer does to plants). Habits such as having a daily quiet time with God, accountability, memorizing Scripture, finding their area of giftedness and/or ministry, giving of their time and resources, and sharing their Christian faith with others. Please contact Pastor Ron for more information.

Cookbooks for Sale

Please remember that our cookbooks are still for sale. They make great gifts at only $10. All proceeds going toward community outreach and other missions.

Christmas Fellowship Luncheon
