Strong and Courageous
Tuesday, May 12, 2026, 6:00 PM in Celorio Hall
A banquet honoring Christian faith in Sumner County
The inspiration for the event comes from the charge given to Joshua in Joshua 1:9 for him to be strong and very courageous as he leads the children of Israel. Today, Christians who continue to be strong and courageous in their faith positively affect their work, neighborhood, and community with Kingdom values.
