So
much is being reported today about the bad economy, we decided to check
our younger churches around the state to see how they were doing. The
churches listed here have been organized sometime after 1995 and have
less than 150 people on any given Sunday.
To
our surprise and delight, most have been minimally effected – praise
God! However, a few are not as fortunate. We ask you to pray for those
who are being effected and if the Lord leads you to do so, help them in
some appropriate way. CLICK HERE
to go to the page where are newer church are listed for contact
information. If you want to contact one of these churches listed below
and they are not on our page under New Churches, please contact Ron Boehm via email.

**Southern Hills has 5 families who have lost their jobs. Two have found other work, but are under-employed. West Cleveland is heavily invested in the automotive industry.
***Unknown - we are still trying to make contact with the leaders of these churches. We hope to have their information soon. Please check back later.
