CHURCH DIRECTORY
We hope to have the church directory completed in the next few weeks.  Once it is compiled a copy will be available for preview at the ministry table for you to check your family's information before a final copy is made.  The direcory will be a digital file that will be sent out to the congregation via email that you will then be able to download onto your personal computer for your use.  (Your information WILL NOT be posted anywhere on the web due to privacy concerns.) 
We hope in the near future to provide a paper copy of the directory also.

By completing either of these forms, you can have your tithes and offerings be processed on a regular schedule. 
You can even designate if your donation is for Tithing, Missions, or Building Fund.  Thank you for your faithful giving!
