We Worship.
Our worship focuses on God. We rely on the Scripture’s story of God’s grace granted us through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In all of our services, we read Scripture, praise God through prayer and song, and learn from our pastor’s lesson. There is a special time set aside during each service for children.
Sunday School
We have multiple bible studies and small groups that meet weekly. We also have a designated hour on Sunday morning for small group study at 10:15 AM.
SPLASH!
There is a special time for children in each worship service. We also have SPLASH, our Sunday School for children ages 3 - 5th grade.
Nursery
Our nursery is open for children ages 4 and under. They are not required to wear masks; however, we are doing temperature checks for each child upon entry.

New Lesson Series Begins!
"The Story of Easter" | from April 4th to May 16th
Throughout His earthly life, Jesus told His disciples and others what He was doing; however, divine hints of what was to come were not limited only to Christ’s years on earth. God had always been telling God's people what Jesus was going to do. Even now, Jesus tells us what He is going to do in our lives and in our community. He tells us the WHAT [continue to save sinners] and the HOW [using us and our work in the midst of this world] because of WHY [God's love for us!]
People tend to think or act like the Bible simply comes to a stop after Jesus is raised from the dead. There are, however, an awful lot of pages left after His resurrection. In fact, almost half of the New Testament occurs after Jesus has already been crucified and raised from the dead. That is quite a few books to fill with empty pages if nothing really happened after the Resurrection. Those books are filled with the accounts of what the disciples did after Christ was risen, but what many people do not always really think about, even if they know it intellectually, is that Jesus Himself appears several times in the Bible after His Resurrection. Jesus does not simply disappear straight to heaven.
