Harbor Life Church began when Pastor Mark and Angela saw a need to serve broken families. Our desire is to be a harbor to broken families and broken people where they can find the transforming love of Jesus. We strive to harbor the hurting and launch them back out to rescue others in the name of Jesus. Our church culture is very friendly and transparent.
