We offer many opportunities to help you grow spiritually – both in your understanding of God as revealed in the Bible and also in the practical application of Biblical truth in your everyday life.
Since our beginning we have been and continue to be committed to the authority of the Bible and the need for a personal faith in Jesus Christ. Our goal is to be a church that transforms lives through Jesus Christ and brings good news to our community.
We would love to have you join us.
