Our elders feel called to help plant a new church in Southaven. Specifically, we are praying for an African-American church planter. This work is in the very early stages. Please pray for God to send the right man to lead it!
To better serve Desoto County, we created a brief Gift Survey. Help us do our job “to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ…” (Ephesians 4:12) (www.cfpca.org/serve)
