Due to the extensive water damage, our church offices have been temporarily moved to the downstairs youth room in the Praise Center. We do have one working phone line (886-7466) and a working fax line (886-0489). The office has resumed its regular hours Monday-Thursday 8:30-4:30 and Friday 8:30-12 noon. We are doing our best to get things back to normal again so please bare with us. If you have any questions or concerns please give us a call.
