It’s time to TRUST GOD like never before --- Our 90-Day Tithing Challenge This month (Sunday, January 10TH) we are starting a 90-day tithing challenge. For most of us this is an area that challenges us in our pursuit to TRUST GOD.

The challenge targets members who have never tithed or who haven’t tithed within the last 6 to 12 months. Challengers should submit a Challenge Enrollment Form. Once completed forms can be placed in the offering basket or left at the main church office. You can also submit the enrollment information electronically to kathyevansdavis@yahoo.com.
