We are a congregation that believes in the life-changing power of Jesus Christ, and do our best to share God’s love both among our congregation and in our community, we are privileged to serve.
If you are looking for a “perfect church,” then I encourage you to click away quickly because we’re not that church, yet we are doing our best to become more like our Lord and Savior every single day. Sometimes we fail, but we believe in learning from those mistakes and moving forward in faith!
