Dear Tucker neighbors and friends,
Amy and I, along with our church family, feel so blessed to be a part of Tucker, serving our community in different ways and adding to its spiritual life. You can read a little more about our vision here on our website, but more importantly, we would love to have you to join us at one of our Sunday worship services. You'll find our worship reverent and joyful and our community loving and welcoming. In the meantime, if you would like to find out more information, please email me and I'd be glad to chat and share more or pray with you.
Peace and grace in Christ,
Pastor Erik
