Let’s Revitalize, Milliken!
13 This is how we know that we live in Him and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. – 1 John 4:13-16

Pastor Eddie’s Mission Trip Next Year

Milliken Church family has been an incredible supporter of ministry in Sierra Leone for many years. We can look forward to hearing about Rev. Eddie’s trip and what God did in his life when he returns!
Share your Testimony
Sharing your experiences about how God is present in your life and the peace that you have found in Christ can encourage others to share their testimony.

Lead “Family” Open Invitation

Even if you have participated before, we welcome your participation. Please contact Pastor Stephen to let him know your availability so that we can plan ahead.
Worship Arts Team – We Want Your Help!
We have been blessed with a wonderful team of volunteers who have committed their gifts to serving the Lord in this capacity. We would love for more of you to join our Worship Arts Team in the new year. Here are 3 reasons why you should join. If you have the ability to sing, play an instrument (any instrument), or would like to learn how to serve in the Sound booth to learn various skills including sound board training, video/camera operation and working with Worship Tools to present words and scripture on the screen for worship service, please see Pastor Aza or Brother Chris.
Here are 3 reasons why you should join:
- A place to develop your gifts and be equipped to serve.
