Pastoral Letters are weekly communications from our church pastor to the congregation. They are mostly original reflections on the Word of God in response to church events or current affairs, local or beyond, with the primary intent to exhort Christians to live rightly before God in the real world. Short bibliographies are sometimes featured towards the same end.
We pray that these writings will be a great blessing to you!

Since late last year, we have been making announcements about our biennial church camp which will be held on the 19th to 22nd of June. After waiting for nearly two years, we are just two months away from the much anticipated church camp! Having attended all our previous church camps,...
