At this time, church officials say they are reviewing all available options for Sunday services. All other campuses will remain open.
A statement sent in by the church reads as follows:
“Rebuilding is a daunting task. However, if there is but one defining trait that unites us, it is our resilience. We have faced storms before—and we have overcome. We have faced massive repairs to our homes before—and we have overcome. We have faced heartache before—and we have overcome. When we are in our toughest test, this is the time to cry out for God’s strength, courage, and comfort. In our most difficult time of need, “The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged (Deuteronomy 31:8).”
