This sabbatical will include 2.5 weeks in Africa.

You will be well served and while he will not be keeping regular office hours, all Lead Pastors have received contact information to reach him at any time required.

• Assistant Pastor Jennifer White,at Solid Rock Wesleyan (Peter Hayes) also serves as a Hephzibah board Member and she recently preached an excellent message about ministering to families with special needs children. CLICK HERE and go to time stamp 31:04 to listen to this excellent sermon!

Solid Rock Wesleyan began to partner with Hephzibah62:4 about 3 years ago. Jennifer shared “It stands for everything that we are passionate about: foster care and adoption, anti-trafficking, special needs ministries for people with exceptionalities and disabilities, and much more. As the Hephzibah62:4 team has come alongside us and connected us strategically with other churches, organizations, opportunities and resources, we are strongly positioned for a new season of ministry growth and impact. With the support of a Hephzibah62:4 grant, we are in the process of creating a specially equipped sensory room for Jonathan’s Heart Ministries that will help us include children with special needs more fully in the life of our church.”

• Hephzibah62:4 offers a variety of benefits to all Wesleyan churches, with increasing benefits for qualifying church partners. No financial commitment is required.
