*Notation
As you may have read on our Home Page, our 'transition' has always been part of the plan this mission church. It is an encouragement to us and a testimony to the hard work of all our staff and volunteers that we are AHEAD OF SCHEDULE! Jordan Sikkema, our beloved former construction manager, has prayed one thing consistently since we began, "Lord, frustrate the plans that our ours and put your plans in place." He usually adds, "...and Lord you know I hate praying this prayer..." As God's plans are coming to light, we are adjusting, excited and praying Jordan's prayer. We usually add his addendum.
