As our members&mdash;from children to adults&mdash;serve through feeding programs, campus ministry, and nursing home visits, we&rsquo;ve seen God&rsquo;s blessings and steady growth. With our borrowed worship space no longer meeting our expanding needs, our longing for a true, dedicated place of worship grows stronger.</h4> <p> To support this vision, we are holding a Benefit Concert.
