From Missions & Evangelism Night to Sunday School & SMM Night, Music & Youth Night, and the highly anticipated AIM Night, every service has been designed to equip believers, empower leaders, and ignite ministry for the next generation.

Thursday, June 11 from 3:30 - 5:00pm, we are especially excited to welcome the Center for Congregations as they present a special resource session filled with tools, strategies, and opportunities to help ministries grow, thrive, and make an even greater impact in their communities.

Resurrection Season blessings, Saints.

With solemn hearts, we share the official announcement regarding the homegoing services of our beloved District Missionary Jacqueline King, faithful servant of God and cherished laborer in the Historic First Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of Indiana.

We thank God for her life, her labor, her love, and her lasting legacy. As a Jurisdiction, we stand in prayerful solidarity with her family, loved ones, district, and church family, holding fast to the promise of Holy Scripture: “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” (Revelation 14:13, KJV)

Please see the attached communiqué for full service arrangements. Let us govern ourselves accordingly and serve in quiet dignity.

Grace and peace.
