WARRIOR FIRST RESPONDERS FIRSTRESPONDERS

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” I Peter 4:10

Each and every one of us has a story to tell from our experiences during the pandemic. We all played a part in this global phenomenom that changed our daily lives in ways we could have never imagined.

We are grateful to those in our community who stand at the forefront, serving our community.

We are especially thankful to those in our Warrior family who share God’s love in their communities through their professions. Following are just a few of our alumni who represent the sacrifices and service of so many. We are grateful!
