Who Are We
We are a church family desiring to love those who enter our doors and cross our paths. We want to see each person through Jesus’ eyes, sharing His life and love so everyone can be His disciple.
What do we believe?
Eternal life comes from a personal relationship with God our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, His only son. The Word of God is our inspired roadmap for this amazing journey. If you are interested in learning more about this journey to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, contact our Lead Minister, Larry Bowden, or anyone on our staff or eldership team. It would be our privilege to show you this journey to the heart of God.
