About Us
Connecting to God through Christ
This connection brings a transformation from being full of doubt and uncertainty to having the knowledge of a rightful place in God's great kingdom. Change comes slowly at times. By participation with a group of believers, one receives help to increase growth and brings us into a closer relationship with The Lord for our daily life.
Take the first step toward personal renewal – WORSHIP WITH US!

Services are held at 9:00 am and 11:00 am every Sunday.

OUR BELIEF IS...
...that God’s desire is for life in abundance.
...that Christ Jesus is the door that leads to life in abundance.
...that salvation is found in Jesus Christ.
...that each of us is called to belong to the larger community of faith called the church.
...that we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves.
...that forgiveness ought to be 'the way of life'.
...that responsibility for our way of life comes from within.
...that as the extended family, the church is to care for and build believers.
OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MINDS, OPEN DOORS.
