Faith means our hoping
And confidently knowing
That God's promises are true,
And he will see them all through....

Upon a cross of wood You died for me,
Under the weight of all my sin and shame
While I Your enemy was still to be.
I cursed and scoffed and mocked Your very name....

When Mark Prater preached on Gospel Growth a few weeks ago, he mentioned our church vision: Loving God, Loving One Another, Loving Our Neighbor. As Mark talked about our vision statement, I was filled with an intense reminder of how much this church means to me and why.
