"Sanctification- personal holiness- is not something that you should assume. It's not something that is automatic for anyone. If Paul strove for personal holiness, how much more should you and I strive for personal holiness?"
—David Papillon
Christmas in October?

Last weekend, our men enjoyed a great time of fellowship- we heard from Pastor Steve on "A Model of Godly Manhood", and men are already putting into practice what was learned. We are thankful for a men's ministry devoted to challenging generations of men through God's Word!
