A few words from our Pastor
Following two years of intentional self-assessment at West Swamp, I am pleased to join the Ministry Team in furthering the work and mission of this congregation. We have been hard at work redefining our mission, values, and vision for the next three years. We are excited about the direction we are headed. As a church body, we celebrate the new energy among us and are grateful for the presence of God’s Spirit moving us forward. Every day I see new signs of life as we are challenged to stretch and grow in our walk with Christ. In this new chapter of our life at West Swamp. I look forward to seeing where our partnership with God will take us!
