• This summer we will begin construction on a worship center at 42312-42326 Albrae Street in Fremont! To God be the glory! Please keep praying and giving; we'll keep you posted on the progress of this exciting project!
Please Hand Me A Brick! is a campaign to raise to $1.5 million over and above our tithes and general offerings to complete phase one of the worship center construction. A "brick" = $1,000, which means we needs 1,500 bricks
Announcements
