When you walk into the doors of the church, you will be greeted by many smiling warm faces. Many of these smiling faces have been with our church since the beginning. As you look around, you will see plenty of our family in conversation with each other or serving in some capacity. Most churches describe their people wearing anything from jeans to suits, and here you will see that is true. Come and shake hands, drink a cup of coffee and see this highly relational congregation in action. After you spend some time here we believe you will use words to describe the culture as friendly, loving, caring and even generous.
