About Us

We seek to be Christ’s presence in our fellowship and in our community. We strive to be a fellowship of being and doing like Christ. We are not a perfect church, but we sincerely desire to seek God and join others on the path of faith. A personal relationship with God through His son and our Savior Jesus Christ provides us with a sense of purpose here on earth and an eternal home in God’s presence when our time on earth is done.

We understand we cannot work our way into a relationship with Christ or earn our way into heaven. We genuinely accept by faith Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf. Because of God’s grace, Jesus has paid the price for our sins. We have the gift of salvation because of him. Each person needs to accept this gift. This allows one to begin a life of faith that will guide them in loving God and loving others.

What is faith? Hebrews 11:1 “Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”- (Faith in Jesus, God’s Son, who shed His blood to cover our sin.)

What is Grace – It is when God grants us what we do not deserve. Ephesians 2:8 “It is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” (Sin separates us from God, but He loves us so much that He gave His only Son as the perfect sacrifice for our sin.)

Who is Jesus? Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the only begotten Son of the living God. John 14:6 “Jesus said, ‘I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life, no one can come to the Father except through me.” (When we reject Jesus, we are separated from God.)

We invite you to share your unique gifts, calling and questions with us. We look forward to walking with you in pursuing God’s call for His church.
