Join us for a powerful day of worship, encouragement, and connection as we come together to build bridges that matter — with God, with each other, and with the world around us.

Women are invited to wear soft pastel attire as we celebrate in unity and fellowship.

Morning Worship Service

For This Reason

🕞 11:15 AM
Speaker: Jocelyn ‘Joy’ Shokai

This isn’t just a special program — it’s a call to action. We believe God is calling us into a movement of love, service, and discipleship, reaching our families, our neighbors, and those who are ready to know Christ. “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”

Joy Shokai is a devoted follower of Christ with a passion for ministry, encouragement, and uplifting others in faith. Through her service in church leadership, women’s ministry, worship, and mentorship, she strives to reflect God’s love and create meaningful connections within the church and community.

Fellowship Lunch
Lunch will be served immediately following the worship service. Bring your family, stay, and enjoy sweet fellowship before the afternoon program!
