Our Statement

     To love God, follow Jesus, and love all.
 

A Sign of the Times - we will offer pre-recorded worship services until we are able to return to worshipping in our sanctuary!

We will follow Governor DeWine's and the Putnam County Health Department's recommendations and worship online until those recommendations allow groups to safely and wisely gather once again.
