Saying Goodbye
A scattered church can be a powerful church
While we cannot gather as a large group on campus, we can meet in smaller groups online and in homes, apartments, and even parking lots. We can experience church in a new way—perhaps one that will spread God’s word more powerfully than we could imagine.

Resources to Combat Racism
Every human being has dignity, worth, and immeasurable value and is made in the image of God. And while it is easy for many of us to assume that racism is only demonstrated in horrific acts, we must follow the way of Jesus who challenged us to deal with the logs in our own eyes before attempting to remove the specks from the eyes of others. We pray this list of resources helps you grow in your understanding.
