Community Spotlight
CedarBrook Corporate Commission

CedarBrook Outreach’s team will be sharing about the lives that are changing in the CedarBrook community. They will be taking you a virtual tour of CedarBrook and their programs. You will meet our children, watch their outreaches in action, and see what God is doing through CedarBrook Outreach.
If you are interested in participating in the Corporate Commission, you may sign-up HERE by Nov. 10th.
