Home → About Us
OUR MISSION is to proclaim the Word of God through preaching, teaching, music, caring and fellowship to our local community and the world. Our ultimate goal shall be that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and SAVIOR.
Statement of Faith
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who was fully God and fully Man, the Savior of the World and that through his life, death and resurrection atonement was made for sin and redemption was provided for all mankind.
We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God and the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
“Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ.” Romans 10:17

The purpose of the service is for the worship and glorification of God. We practice a traditional and conservative style of worship. Our worship service begins at 10:00 am. We offer Adult Sunday School at 9:00 am.
Music is very important to our Worship service and Church family. We believe that music is the presentation and interpretation of scripture.
Our small but committed choir is always looking for new members to sing for the Glory of God. The choir practices after the Worship service.
