We welcome all to our worship. Our youth are active participants in our worship and any who profess Jesus Christ as Lord are invited to share in our communion celebration.We are a family oriented, traditional style church family with open arms and open hearts. We enjoy many of the traditional kinds of things: potlucks, church picnics, Sunday school, outings together, and cookies and coffee following worship.
