Note that there is a wheelchair entrancefrom the back parking lot through the double doors. The church has a wheelchair in the back of the sanctuary for anyone wishing to assist a person coming to a meeting. Rest rooms for the disabled are available in the Preschool wing.

Thank you for your gifts, the tithes and offerings, to the church, they help build up the Kingdom of God in this place and send blessings into the world-wide community. Giving options include putting cash or check in the envelopes provided (if you can please use the ones printed with your name on them.) On these envelopes you may designate which funds you would most like to support. Otherwise they will be credited to the General Fund where they will be used for the most important needs of the church. Also some people have directed their payroll service to send a check in the mail every pay period and thus their tithe is kept up to date in a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly way and it costs nothing extra to do this. For more information on this or other giving options please contact the Finance Committee Chair Kevin Ramsey.
