“Strong, committed lay leadership is essential for a vibrant, healthy, and growing church that is making a difference in people’s lives with the Good News of Jesus Christ. May we be like trees planted by streams of water. May we yield fruit for God’s kin-dom. May we have faith that does not wither and may all we do reflect the redeeming love of God.” - Pastor Steve
