WELCOME! We’ve been waiting for you because we believe that every person who comes into the circle of this special fellowship was sent by God Himself. It’s not by accident that we have the joy of meeting you. Above all else we want to express Christ’s love to you with genuine, heartfelt warmth. Our doors & our hearts are open. If you’ve been thinking, praying, searching & hoping for a place to belong, we say again-Welcome! If you have small children, please feel free to use our nursery located down the hall, first door on the left. Older children have children’s church every Sunday except the first Sunday of the month when we have family worship. May God bless you for worshiping Him!
