God's plan
Building love at first site since 1880...
For 110 continuous years, God has blessed our city through the many who have worshipped and worked here in his service. We do now resolve to keep this faithfulness growing as we consecrate these new and improved buildings.
O what a future!
To be opened on Sunday, May 24, 2020, we have this date interred beneath the cross tower a time capsule containing the dreams and aspirations of our church family and friends as we in 1990 contemplate our next 30 years.
May we look forward "2020" with a clear vision of God's plan, secure that he will bless its fulfillment in the lives of all who are dedicated to his service here.
Dr. Edwin Chappell
Senior minister
