Honoring the Strawbridge Legacy 

Dr. Gregg Strawbridge (1965-2022) is remembered as a "Pastor to Pastors," and as such, we honor his legacy with this annual forum to edify, encourage, and shepherd the shepherds.  In our time together we will hear lectures, sing psalms and hymns, pray for one another, as well as feast and fellowship.   Please join us!
