Do you have a posse? In other words, are you part of a group of people who hang together and look out for each other? Did you know that Jesus taught that each of us should have a posse? Join us on Sunday as we discover who we should be hanging with and standing together […]
Join us for Pride Weekend Worship! During the sermon time on Sunday, some of our trans congregants will share their personal experiences and other important information.
