Pastor Shawn House leads our congregation in a traditional worship service in collaboration with our spirited \u201c<em>Chordially Yours<\/em>\u201d choir led by our talented Worship Leader Brother Sam Raab in Southern Baptist praise and worship style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We can follow Pastor Shawn\u2019s weekly message, order of service, ministry opportunities, update on church activities, and upcoming events with a printed worship bulletin. &nbsp;We enjoy congregational readings, prayers and songs, an altar call and invitation each week, and celebrate Communion monthly.&nbsp; Children\u2019s Church and Nursery are offered during both Sunday Worship Services and Children\u2019s Ministry is offered on Wednesday nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Missions are a huge part of what we do, and we are thankful for the opportunities  God has given us.&nbsp; From our local community to places across oceans, we strive to be supporters, goers, and senders.&nbsp;Our weekly mission is to go and make disciples and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Our church campus is comprised of several buildings:&nbsp; sanctuary auditorium, office building, classrooms, and modular youth buildings.&nbsp; Construction is ongoing on our new Fellowship Hall.&nbsp; The grounds include plenty of parking areas, handicapped parking, cement walkways between the buildings, a large, fenced playground, and lots of areas for ballgames and outdoor fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"892\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/gadarabc.thetechdr.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5-kindness.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gadarabc.thetechdr.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5-kindness.jpg 892w, https:\/\/gadarabc.thetechdr.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5-kindness-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gadarabc.thetechdr.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5-kindness-768x481.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<em>Sabbath is a day of wonder and of glad elation<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>when we review the miracle of six days of creation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Sabbath is a day of rest, a day to slow our pace.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>It\u2019s a day to look within ourselves, and find a quiet place.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Sabbath is a day of peace, a day for seeking good.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>It\u2019s a day when friends and strangers join their hands in brotherhood.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.&nbsp;
