The Homeless Outreach Team was so excited to get back on the street this Friday after a week spent preparing our new church home! What an incredible building we’ve been graced with and what an honor it is to partner with God and watch Him expand His reach through these doors!
Our next Open Outreach Opportunity is Friday, September 6th! Join us at the new building and find out if you’d like to join the team this coming Connect Group Season. We’d love to watch God work through you! Click Here to RSVP!
