Pastor John and Julie's journey started with a surprise plane ticket and has been an incredible ride ever since. They've guided us, taught us, and inspired us to follow God's leading. Now, as they step into retirement, we get to celebrate them! Join us in saying THANK YOU and sending them off with love.
Your gift will bless Pastor John and Julie and say thank you for 35 years of ministry.
