Dr. Robert L. Cole will be our guest expositor at our Good Friday worship service (today, 29 March 2024) and at our Resurrection Sunday Morning Service, 10:30 am, 31 March 2024.

Patterns are repeated. Coincidence?

Has this been your experience as a woman? Men don’t believe you when you speak truth about Jesus? Have men dismissed your thoughts because you were a woman? Did men fail to take your message of Christ seriously?
