Faith in Action (James 2:1)

Today ((12/24/2025)), our congregation performed one of the most impactful faith in action initiatives in the Lake City area (Mat 25:36). We successfully distributed approximately 120 bags of food to our homeless brothers in Christ across three camps.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Mezmuran family and the youth who are leading this effort. It is also a blessing to witness our children participating in this initiative.
Glory be to God!
