May our praise to God not just be something that will last until the next distraction comes along. Additionally, let us not limit our praise to only taking place when we are specifically in a typical place of worship. Rather, let us exalt the Lord at all times!

On 4/20 the High School Leadership Team along with other faculty and staff will begin sharing Biblical Foundational Truths to our Seniors over the course of the last 22 days of high school.  Join us in the high school auditorium for 22 minutes of prayer, worship, and message to our seniors each morning at 7:40am - 8:02am with the final message being delivered at the Graduation Ceremony on 5/19.
