Here are a few fast facts. - 825 in attendance - over 50 decisions made - 33 of those decisions were salvation decisions - 16 of the salvation decisions were from youth under the age of 18 Praise God for His faithfulness to allow such a great harvest from this year’s event. But, the real work of Beast Feast is just beginning. Please make plans to join in on Sunday nights to take information to the new believers, follow up with each person on their decision to follow Jesus, and help to our new brothers and sisters in Christ connected to a Bible Fellowship Group.

Be self-controlled and alert, your enemy the devil roams around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith... 1 Peter 5:8-9

Missions 2018

Led by Pastor Lynn Hyatt weekly Meets in the Chapel

Have you ever had a question in the middle of a sermon and wished you could just raise your hand and get an answer? Well, this is the class for you. Each week Pastor Lynn takes a topic or a book of the Bible and breaks it down into bite sized chunks that are easy to understand and apply to your life. And, if it doesn’t make sense to you, just ask a question.

The Chapel is the building with the 4 white columns and the double white doors.

The U.S. is a wealthy country by comparison; however, you may be shocked to see the stats on the amount of debt the average American carries in relation to their income. For many Americans, the financial future is uncertain.

78% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, 66% would struggle to pay a $1000 emergency. If those statistics sound familiar and you would like to change your financial future, this class is for you!
