We seek to encourage the expression of genuine Christian fellowship through home Bible studies, corporate prayer, and a weekly observance of the Lord's Supper.
The church was incorporated in 1977 and our present building was dedicated in 1991.
We emphasize the importance of:
BIBLICAL TEACHING
We are committed to teaching the whole counsel of God through a consecutive and systematic exposition of Scripture (Acts 20:27). We are people of the Book and study everything God has said for the sake of obedience (John 14:21). The Scripture is our final authority in all areas of life and worship (Luke 6:46). We promote an attitude of eagerness in learning God's Word (Jeremiah 15:16; Proverbs 27:7; 2 Timothy 2:15).
Pastoral Ministry
PASTORAL MINISTRY
We are devoted to a people-centered pastoral ministry in which a plurality of elders shepherds the congregation individually and encourages its members to minister personally to one another (Acts 20:28). Members are encouraged to minister to one another through God's wisdom and power (Romans 15:14). We believe the local church is a healing community where people are healed of spiritual, emotional, physical and relational diseases (Exodus 15:26). Through love and personal caring (Galatians 6:1-2), the Body of Christ builds itself up into spiritual maturity (Ephesians 4:16).
Christian Fellowship
CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
We seek to encourage the expression of genuine Christian fellowship through such means as corporate worship, home Bible studies, weekly prayer meetings, weekday prayer and accountability groups, and a weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:42). Consistent fellowship with other believers is necessary for steady growing in the faith (Proverbs 27:17; Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 Thessalonians 5:11).
