ABOUT US...

WHAT WE

​ OFFER...

We offer a traditional style of worship but in a relaxed style. We love to sing and we place an emphasis on prayer. The preaching is Bible-based, using both the King James Version and the Newly Revised Standard Version on most Sundays. Our Sunday services begin at 11:00 a.m.
