Audio Sermons

Due to technical difficulties we are forced to discontinue posting audio sermons recordings. The harsh conditions of having our services on the arena floor have made maintaining equipment difficult. Cleaning and Repair was attempted but did not work. Hopefully when we move into our new building we will be able to purchase some new equipment and continue with this ministry. If you value this part of our ministry and feel led to contribute to replacing the recorder please contact our pastor, Bob Young.
