You'll hear stories from missionaries serving in American Peoples, South Asia, and Poland, make something awesome, dance at a silent disco, and visit Eliza's Cafe for a specialty Glow drink. Most importantly, you'll discover that as you grow in Christ, you have a part to play in God's mission—and you can GLOW for Jesus wherever you are.

Deacon Ministry

• The deacon body is requesting a change in some of the verbiage of our current bylaws in relation to the amount of total deacons and the amount upon which we elect each year. This comes after much consideration and years of not fully upholding the bylaws for a number of reasons. 

  We are proposing that the following section in Section 9 under the heading E. Church Officers of the bylaws be changed to the following: “The church shall have up to 30 active deacons. Up to ten deacons shall be elected each year for a term of three years.” 

• Keep an eye out here for upcoming bios of proposed deacon candidates!
