The church was founded in 2003 and worshiped in multiple locations before we broke ground on our permanent site. We are so thankful for all who came and worshiped with us on Sunday.\u00a0 We were especially thankful to have Pastor Garry Ballance and his wife Lisa with us as well as Dr. Robert Ivey and his wife Carolyn. They are just two of the pastors who has led the congregation through the years. We missed those who wanted to be with us that day and couldn&#8217;t. Please know that we thought of you and shared memories through a beautiful PowerPoint presentation. Enjoy these photos from Sunday&#8217;s event. Here&#8217;s to the next 20 years!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-622 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon
