We hope that bringing this story to life will be another opportunity for this community to experience and come to know Jesus.
We need actors, singers, behind the scenes help, advertisers, greeters, and people to spread the word. We need YOU! You could be an actor, singer, performer in the pew, work in the sound/tech booth, help with costumes, work with advertising…bring us your God-given talent, and we will use it.
