All members, please mark your calendar for Wednesday, January 29th at 6:00pm for our church business meeting.

This January, we’re focusing on good nutrition and healthy eating. Benefits include a longer life, healthier skin, teeth, and eyes, stronger immunity and bones, and reduced risks of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. Healthy eating also supports maintaining a healthy weight.
As a corporate family engaging in the Daniel Fast, Pastor has reminded us that fasting is a biblical practice of self-denial. The Daniel Fast, a partial fast, enhances prayer but isn’t necessary for a healthy lifestyle. Remember, fasting without prayer is simply a DIET. If you have medical conditions, consult your doctor before beginning. Visit the Church Mall this month for resources on healthy nutrition and wellness!

The Youth Ministry is seeking small group leaders, a sound technician, and teacher assistants. If you're interested in any of these roles, please contact our Youth Pastor, Rev Yakeem Jones. Your support makes a difference! Click here to register to volunteer.

Questions should be directed to Rev. Yakeem Jones, Youth Pastor

Food for the Soul will be held January 27th at 5:00PM. The Young Adult Ministry (YAMs) will be hosting. Asking all young adults interested in helping please contact the church office or see Rev. Gardner

 To support you during the fast, we’ve made resources available online, including the BFB Fasting Guide, teachings, and daily devotionals. As part of this season, we will culminate with a special Communion Service on February 9, 2025.
