We are ready to build affordable housing for those in need. We are going to be uncomfortable in order to provide comfort for others. We are going to run towards a Promised Land even if we can’t see it. We lift our eyes and see a better country and we get to be a part of it We celebrated Vision Sunday in January with an All Community Celebration including a time of worship, testimony, communion and a meal together. As part of our vision-casting for 2026, we shared about three specific areas we believe God is leading us. One of those is the venture with Open Door Housing Inc to provide affordable housing for our community. Additionally, we will be pursuing a ministry to college students, specifically those in our surrounding community, and we will be hosting a peace conference in the fall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b87e2e9c258b42a93287217/1771261167478-LUT3NZOW399P9D75LLKS/ArtStudio.jpg Breaking Ground Newsletter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b87e2e9c258b42a93287217/1771261181095-HY6GH07KEGVPP0ZT9X0U/Caroling.jpg Breaking Ground Newsletter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b87e2e9c258b42a93287217/1771261181001-M4Q7VC9IOBO1I0AI19JP/Caroling1.jpg Breaking Ground Newsletter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b87e2e9c258b42a93287217/1771261186800-7FROEDR128FSN24ACLRA/AdventCandles.jpg Breaking Ground Newsletter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b87e2e9c258b42a93287217/5cd3b9e7-e2d8-44db-964b-b8d725289f57/MLK+March.jpg Breaking Ground Newsletter - Martin Luther King Freedom March "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
