:: New Office Hours

You spoke and we listened! In an effort to make our church staff more accessible and available for the needs of our growing community (did y’all see how many folks were crammed into the sanctuary on Sunday???), we’re changing up our office hours.

Starting next week you can catch Pastor Dan and Abby in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8am to 2pm and by appointment on Monday and Friday. See you next week on Main Street!
