WELCOME TO FRESHWATER Welcome to Freshwater! We’re so glad you’re here! We know it can be intimidating to come to church as a visitor, so we hope you’ve received a warm welcome.

To help us get to know you better, please fill out the attached Connection Card and place it in the offering. We hope you enjoy your visit! See you next week! Scott Brooks, Senior Pastor
