It also serves as a hub for community gatherings, where church members and residents come together to celebrate, mourn, and support one another through life’s ups and downs. Its annual events, such as Easter Sunrise services, Vacation Bible School, and Fall Festival, have become cherished traditions that bring joy to both members and community residents alike.
