Fall Revival Services 2025

Join us November 8-12 for a week of special services with Evangelist Caleb Reed as we seek the Lord together and allow His Word to stir our hearts. Our Saturday men’s rally begins with lunch at 12pm (noon) followed by times of singing, preaching, and prayer. Sunday services will follow our regular service schedule, and Monday through Wednesday services will be held at 7:00 PM. Each service will be a time of Christ-centered preaching, prayer, and spiritual renewal for the whole family. We’re asking everyone to invite someone—a friend, neighbor, or coworker—who needs encouragement and truth from God’s Word. Come with an open heart and expect God to work in these special days!
