Current Sermon Series
Second Chances. Stories of Restoration, Repurposing, and Redemption.
We are all in need of second (and third, and fourth...) chances. Join us as we hear about Jesus' interactions with all kinds of broken people, and how he provided them healing and a chance to start again. He does the same for us, too.
Join us in worship on Sundays at 9am, or listen to the sermon at 9:30am on KVLV 980AM or live on Pastor Dawn's Facebook page. They are archived there, too! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100015790988604
