Bringing glory to God by contending for His truth, multiplying servants of Jesus Christ, and caring for one another.

Early in my life, I realized that my conduct and thoughts displeased God. Through the Bible and counsel of my mother I came to understand that Jesus died for my sin. By faith I trusted in Christ’s sacrifice as payment for my sin and He made me a new person.  Pleasing God has become my desire and purpose for life.  In all of life’s demands and trials, He is my resource who cares and guides me (Proverbs 3:5-6). I am learning to wait on Him for all things. It is my desire to leave a legacy of what He has taught me in life to those who desire to follow in the path of faith (Psalm 71:17-18).

COVID Guidelines

As a church, we have made every effort to abide by the recommendations and restrictions imposed by our elected leaders as they are seeking to act for the good of the community. We also feel the weight of the Scriptural directives that charge believers to gather regularly for worship and community. We believe that God has given distinct realms of authority to both the state and the church.

We have allowed for physical distancing by offering three Sunday morning worship services (8:30, 9:30, 11:00), creating more space between rows, and providing for overflow seating in other areas throughout the facility.

We realize that many are not comfortable attending in-person gatherings. We will continue to livestream our services in order to provide biblical teaching and an element of community for our entire church family.
