JCHS School Council Meeting

For the next two weeks, the School Council will meet at 6:00 p.m. in the JCHS Community Room.

Haddock Christian Church Celebration

Please join Haddock Christian Church (formerly Haddock Methodist) in celebration of our church renewal and loving devotion to the Godhead Trinity.

We want to invite Haddock, Gray and the surrounding communities to come worship with us: God the Father, his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Worship service 11 a.m. - 12 p.m., and celebration (lunch for all) will follow on January 29. Haddock Christian Church is located at 117 N. Oak St., Haddock. Please visit with us and enjoy the relevant Biblical preaching and teachings from our Pastor Darrell Burns and the loving fellowship of our church family.

This is a critical time for all Christ believers to prepare and put on the gospel armor of God.

Haddock Christian Church offers a welcoming and safe environment for anyone wanting to learn more about the love, joy, hope and peace found in our Lord Jesus Christ.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Praise the name of Jesus!
