During this time of “social distancing” our pastoral staff is working to adjust quickly to provide a variety of tools to help our church continue in the mission of making disciples. On this page you will find resources being made available to the church for all age groups to help our leaders continue effective ministry. I am thankful for our age-group staff who have identified great tools for you on this page.
