Our volunteers worked tirelessly to serve meals to the homeless and provide essential supplies to those in need. It was a truly heartwarming experience to see our community come together and make a difference in the lives of others. The impact of these events extends beyond providing immediate relief; they create lasting connections and foster a sense of belonging. The smiles on the faces of those we helped and the camaraderie among our volunteers were truly inspiring. Another highlight was our annual youth summer camp.

The camp provided a safe and supportive environment for the children to grow in their faith and build lasting friendships. The laughter, the learning, and the memories created will undoubtedly stay with them for years to come. In addition to these major events, we've also been hosting weekly small group gatherings. These groups provide a more intimate setting for members to connect, share their experiences, and support one another in their faith journeys. The small groups are a cornerstone of our community, fostering deep relationships and creating a sense of belonging.
