3 Greetings from Pastor Ellis: Welcome to The Daily Bread Church! It means a lot to me personally that you have taken time from your busy schedule today to learn more about our vision and mission and to take the next step in getting connected! The Daily Bread Staff and I are looking forward to getting to know you! We believe everyone has the potential to BECOME the person he or she is created to be. The answer is GROWTH. Our desire is to help you develop the right attitude, learn more about your strengths, and to tap into your passion while developing your skills; so you can be all you can be. We care more about your Growth than your Comfort. I hope you are excited about the important foundation that a home church provides and that you embrace making a difference in the lives of others, becoming actively involved in ministry while everyone grows together. As your pastor, I understand and am humbled by the level of trust that you have placed in me. As such, it is with the deepest level of gratitude that I say to every new member Welcome Home.

The ceremony takes place immediately following the 10:30am service.
