New Sermon Series, began Sept. 11th:

“Shift Happens”–a series looking at how we are to navigate change as followers of Jesus. In a world that is changing more rapidly every day, especially in Northern Virginia, we think this will be a timely topic.

Both Pastor Kenny & Pastor Dan will be preaching on“Shift Happens: Dancing Through Change” (Genesis 12:1-5)

Pender’s Vision Statement: 

By following Jesus and reaching out to others, we seek God’s transformation of ourselves and our world.
