        Mother's Day Recap!

          Father's day 2025: Faith of our Fathers!

           On Sunday, June 15, 2025, we joyfully celebrated the incredible fathers and father figures who bless our lives and our church family. The day began with a delicious Father’s Day Breakfast—a heartfelt way to honor the love, leadership, and sacrifices of the men who shape our homes and communities.


          We were also blessed with a powerful message from Rev. Christiana Spears. A humble teacher, her message resonated deeply. It reminded us of the lasting impact of a godly man’s integrity and love.

          Rev. Spears, originally from Ghana and now residing in Dunn, NC, has been in ministry for over a decade. She faithfully led and mentored others in Ghana and now serves as the founder of Grace Speaks Ministries—touching lives and spreading the gospel both locally and abroad.


          “The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.” — Proverbs 20:7 (NKJV)

          We give thanks to God for every father and father figure. May He continue to strengthen and guide you as you walk in His purpose.
