About Us
Our church of about 75-90 faithful attenders (local and online) is a family who support each
other, with a commitment to our local community. We have many older saints who lead our
church, and are looking to expand our membership of younger couples and children. Our
church is debt-free, owns the well-maintained building and grounds where we meet that is
equipped with a commercial kitchen. The church is used during the week by a Christian Pre-
school, a very well attended AWANA program, Women and Men Bible Studies and a Young
Adult ministry group. Unlimited Youth is our youth ministry, in which 6th-12th grade meet
weekly. A bi-annual AutoBond helps to take care of our local single women’s vehicles, with oil
changes, tire maintenance and occasionally other needed work.
The Men meet weekly for breakfast, and also have a monthly Prayer Breakfast at the church.
The Women meet monthly for lunch. We also have a monthly potluck. We like to break bread
together!
The church sends missionary support to several missions around the world, and has a history of
helping to plant new churches. We also partner with the local schools to supply clothing, food
and other needs throughout the year. At Christmas time we partner with Samaritan Purse to
send gift boxes to underdeveloped nations and help spread Gods love.
Our pastor of over 30 years has left us to explore what God has planned for him. He served as
our Worship Leader first before manning the pulpit, so we are also searching for a replacement
in that area. We are looking forward to meeting the man God has prepared for our next chapter
of ministry work.
