We are a body of believers committed to worshipping and serving Jesus Christ. As a Southern Baptist Church, we join with likeminded Christians in spreading the gospel around the world.
Our slogan "Live Like Jesus" is more than just a catchy phrase. It reminds us that with Jesus in our hearts, we have a heart to share The Life with all those around us. God has called us to touch the lives of everyone in our daily walk. We carry out that statement by providing our people training in lifestyle evangelism, by practicing practical missions locally and throughout the world, and offering hope and life to all those with whom we have contact.We hope that it gives you insight into just who we are.
Christ reached out to people of all ages and backgrounds and at our church we desire to do the same. That is why you will discover here ministries geared to various life stages and needs. That is why we have a place for everyone to study the Scriptures, fellowship together, and minister to others through numerous service opportunities.
What We Believe:
We believe our eternal salvation was purchased through Christ's death, burial, and resurrection and only by confessing one's sins and accepting Christ as Savior can a person receive God's grace and an eternal presence in heaven. It is each Christian's duty to develop into a fully devoted follower of Christ, availing him or herself of opportunities for Bible study, ministry, and sharing Christ with others. If you have questions about these or other beliefs we hold in common, please contact us.
Our Mission Statement:
We are a growing body of baptized believers redeemed by Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, committed to glorifying God through:
Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with our community and the world.
Assembling regularly for worship, prayer, Bible study and fellowship.
Helping to meet physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Nurturing and preparing believers for spiritual growth and service.
Preserving a wholesome, moral climate in our community.
