Our Services
We are a teaching and healing ministry with a strong emphasis on the Word of God. During our Sunday morning worship services we have a dynamic praise to the Lord where we joyfully express our gratitude as outlined in Psalm 150. We have ministry for children ages 2-11, youth ages 12-18.
During our adult service you are invited to join us and you will come to find as we have, that through Jesus Christ there is a better way!
Our Confession of Faith
We believe the Bible is the Word of God. We believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ died on Calvary and was raised from the dead on the 3rd day. We believe He ascended to heaven and shall return for His church. We look to the Word of God for the answers in life. Therefore, we say: We are: The healed, the well, the blessed, the strong. We are more than conquerors. We are blessed going out & coming in. The Hand of my God is good upon me. There is nothing missing, lacking or broken in our lives. We have the complete peace of God. We are soul-winners, we are led by the Spirit of God as we witness and share our faith. We know that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a very sound mind. We give all of the praise, honor and Glory to God!
