🔥 This Sunday at Charisma City… we’re turning the page! 🔥

After an incredible journey through the book of Ephesians, we are excited to welcome our brother, Mark Roberts, as our guest speaker as he helps us transition into our next study — the book of Acts! 📖

What does the Church really look like?
How did the early believers live?
What happens when faith moves beyond a building and becomes a movement? 👀

Come experience powerful worship, real community, and a deep dive into the Word as we begin exploring the birth of the Church and the power of the Holy Spirit in Acts.

If you’re looking for a place where the Bible comes alive and people are passionate about growing together, we’d love for you to be our guest this Sunday! 🙌🏽

📍 Charisma City
🕙 Fellowship Breakfast – 10:00 AM
🔥 Worship & The Word – 10:30 AM

During the month of June, our Dental Clinic will be temporarily closed as we undergo construction and improvements to create a refreshed and welcoming space for the community we serve. This renovation is being made possible through the generosity of a dedicated donor who believes in the importance of accessible dental care for our neighbors in need.

While the clinic will be closed for appointments during construction, our team will still be available to take calls and respond to patient emails.

Thank you for your patience, support, and continued prayers as we work to improve the experience for every patient who walks through our doors
