Love! Pray! Serve!

During this coronavirus pandemic, I'm proud to be part of a church staff that stays focused on loving our neighbor, praying for others and serving those in need. In the midst of the craziness, the highlight of my week was hearing a new friend at church tell me that he was ready to give his life to God and be baptized!

Food Pantry at Northeast Christian

Hard times build your character over the long-haul. We must allow this challenging time to build our character. Times like these not only build your character but reveal what's inside of you. And, I love what's inside Northeast Christian Church.

Over two weeks ago, we converted the lobby at Northeast into a food pantry as a way to meet the needs of the most vulnerable in our city. We pray that the most vulnerable in our city feel the peace of Christ and have been encouraged to make it through one more day knowing that God cared enough for them to meet their needs.
