Just as Christ's disciples gathered when the word of His Resurrection spread, the gathering continues on this Easter Sunday as we celebrate our Savior’s victory over death and sin. May all feel the hope and joy that is abundant in the messages of Jesus Christ. Truly! He is risen.
"The Savior promised He will never forget you, saying 'Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.'

Find renewal and hope in the Savior of the world. Worship with us on Easter Sunday.
