Our New Website…

It was time to enter the 21st century and provide our members with the latest developments in technology. We wanted to reach more people than ever before and spread the word that Jesus Christ is Lord. But developing a new website would be costly, and we were experiencing an economic crunch. After much prayerful consideration, God found a solution.

One of our members, Amanda Pace Shoemaker, is a web developer in Atlanta. She told her mom that she would like to give back to the church with her God-given talents. Amanda has spent in excess of 60 hours developing the site. Then, she turned it over to her mom to input data and pictures.

We are grateful to Amanda for her generosity. She and her husband Eric (a designer) are now moving to San Francisco where he has accepted a position of Senior Designer. Amanda will continue her photography business (Capturinglight) and web development.

Thank you, Amanda.
