• 2001 – We go to two services on Sunday’s due to growth.  During the years 1996 to the present, we see many people come to Christ and change and grow.  Most of our church growth is due to new people and new converts.  Some of those people have become key leaders in our church family.

• Early 2009 – We are moving forward on the Building with hopes of breaking ground in the Spring of 2009.  We are looking to start a 3rd service in March or April to make room for future growth.  Our Men’s Ministry, Women’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, and Children’s Ministry are all healthier than they have ever been before.  Our GRACE GROUPS are better organized than ever, and we have great hopes that soon most of the church will be connected to a GRACE GROUP!
