WELCOME, PASTOR!
We are delighted to welcome our new pastor, Rev. Alan Patrick, his wife, Hailey and their children to our church family! We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to growing together in faith, serving our community, and sharing God’s love with others. We pray that God will richly bless our pastor with wisdom, strength, and joy as he leads us. May our church be a place of love, encouragement, and unity as we move forward together in God’s plan. Rev. Patrick will begin his ministry at IMBC on Monday, October 5th.
