Who is Jesus? Sunday morning we'll continue our current message series on the man from Nazareth whose life changed the course of history...and eternity. Last Sunday we remembered that Jesus is not just a savior; He is THE Savior to a world lost in its transgressions. This week we'll focus on the Lord of lords, holding all authority and who will forever be exalted.

  What's Your Story?
Pastor Buddy wants to know
We all have a story to tell, but those that reflect God’s hand in our lives often empower us and provide tremendous growth and celebration. Do you have a recent God-story? Celebrate what He has been doing! Take just a minute to tell us what God has recently done in and around you. These stories will be sent directly to the Pastor’s office.
