The Mighty Miracles of the American Revolution

Join us as we celebrate our nations 250th Anniversary with a year-long a series of monthly lectures celebrating God’s miraculous acts during our nation’s fight for Independence.

The Series, God of Our Fathers: Mighty Miracles of the American Revolution, will highlight key moments of divine intervention, or miracles that took place in that month during the Revolutionary War—remarkable stories of timely reinforcements, inexplicable weather events, and the unwavering perseverance of the patriots and militias against overwhelming odds are but some of the testimonies of God’s miraculous protection and heavenly guidance on America’s path to independence. The anniversary of the Declaration of Independence provides an opportunity to remember God’s call on this country, reflect on His providential miracles, and recognize those individuals who partnered with Him in securing our nation’s freedom.
