What to Expect

You'll hear the scripture from the Old and New Testaments

Testimonials
“The people are some of the warmest and most welcoming, nicest people a person could hope to meet in a church, or really any place. They are the very meaning of a church family, always showing compassion and concern for all who attended, even if not official members. All are welcomed is not just a saying here but it’s proven in every act they make. If you are looking for a new church this is definitely the place to go, no matter what region you may be.”
