Am I expected to give money if I attend?
No. We want all of our guests to open their hearts to Jesus to explore and seek Him in their lives and to grow in their spiritual walk with Christ. Only when someone decides to make a committment to join our church as a member do we formally invite them to prayerfully support the ministries of the church through the giving of God's tithe and our offerings.
