We currently enjoy a preaching team that shares the pulpit. Our Sunday service has a growing attendance of 100 + people, with half that many watching online. Finding ways to reflect Jesus into our city and culture is our desire. Knowing God's heart is for every generation, we are blessed to have growing children, youth, and young adult ministries. Generosity is a hallmark of those who went before us, allowing us to be debt-free.
