Outreach
We, the church family, have been involved in a long-term mission project regarding Eric Lockett and family. As we continue to be in mission to this family, let us remember that we are all one in mission with Christ as we continue our effort to find a way to bring that family together. Our faith will give us the strength to complete this mission.
