A Message from the Pastor:
- Welcome
to our church's website -
it's a glimpse of what God has done on this hillside
in Burnsville
- it's a church body that, 110 years ago, organized to worship God and
to provide the mission of providing the first school for the children
of Yancey County. That was 1897.
Today, in the
same location,
we are a vibrant, active, diverse congregation that
has
moved on to follow Jesus to work in mission both locally and globally.
What happens here doesn't stay here!
- We
believe that Faith, Hope, and
Love flow from one life to another through the grace and power
of
the Holy Spirit. We are community in the holy sense of the word and we
are grateful to God for making us a vital part of the Body of
Christ..
- On
behalf of our congregation, I
invite you to come to worship with us. We have open doors, open hearts,
open minds. All are welcome here.
-
- In
Christ's service,
Rev. Maggie Lauterer
