WELCOME
Welcome to a church that finds joy in the worship of Jesus Christ. We gather each week expecting to hear God's encouraging Word proclaimed through our service. We invite the leading of the Holy Spirit into our hearts and we are obedient to His direction.
Your children are welcome in our worship service. During the 11:00 a.m. worship hour, we hold our Youth and Children's Sunday School.
We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and we accept him as our Lord and Savior.

Scripture this week
And you, my child, will be
called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before
the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the
knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy
of our God,
by which the rising sun will
come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in
darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
Luke 1:76-79 (NIV)
