Masterplan Celebration Remarks by Dave Morgan
Tonite is one of those historic occasions in the life of our church.

We are trusting God to supernaturally empower us as a church family to reach these goals. He has done that here time and time again. Would you be praying with us for that?
We believe that this is a plan that was formed under the guidance of God’s Spirit and represents the efforts and now support of a broad base of our leadership. About 80 men and women have been a part of this 12 week process.
