Our Purpose ~ We Are ~ Our Invitation
Home . . .
Where the heart is . . .
Where love is . . .
Where Christ is . . .
We hope you'll feel right at home the moment you step in our door.
The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. "Sunday best" or casual
clothes are fine.
We're friendly, open and accepting. Wherever you are on your spiritual
journey, you'll find this a place where you can grow in your
relationship with God.
We're building a community that honors Jesus
Christ in all we do - in our worship, in our outreach, in our
service and in our personal growth.
Our music is . . . well, uplifting. We sing the old songs - and the new.
Some of them are fast, some slow. They're always full of hope.
Our
pastor believes in messages that are short and to the point. He hopes
to deliver a word that you can "chew on" the rest of the week and
apply to your life once you've digested it.
Children
are welcome. We have a special message just for children every Sunday
and a special ministry that kids can participate in. When kids bring
quarters for our Heifer Project "quarter pole," they're helping
families all around the world experience the love of Christ through
donations of farm animals.
Youth
will find this a place where they can move toward maturity in body,
mind and spirit and experience the joyful friendship of Christians
their own age.
Whatever
your age or stage in life, you can grow at your own pace here. You
can get as deeply involved in the life of the church as you like. We
won't demand any commitment you're unwilling to make. Naturally,
we want to see you as often as possible, but we won't think any
less of you if other commitments keep you from attending regularly.
We
know that in our increasingly mobile society, some people may not be
able to stay with us long. But as long as you're in this community,
we hope you'll connect your life to ours.
We're
a small church with big dreams. We recently purchased 21½
wooded acres on the north side of West Mary Street. We believe God is
calling us to develop a multi-purpose park-like campus with a worship
center, community life center, walking trails and recreational
spaces. Your ideas and support are welcome.
We
want to be a place where everyone can deepen their personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. Come grow with us!

We
recently asked our members to describe our purpose as a church. Here
is what some of them said . . .
Know the Lord (study Bible, worship, prayer)
Love the Lord and others (as he loves us)
Serve the Lord (others' needs before self)
Share the Lord (in word and action)

Our church is a family of faith, celebrating God's love in worship, proclaiming salvation through Jesus Christ to our community,
caring for one another in the spirit of love, nurturing a passion for the Scriptures
and dedicating our lives to God's justice, grace and mercy.

Accept God's gift of salvation. - 1 Thessalonians 5:9; John 3:16
Develop a worthy relationship with God (trust, love, and praise) - Ephesians 4:1-6; John 14:1; Matthew 22: 37-38; Hebrews 13:15
Demonstrate God's love to others so that they, too, will come to know Him.

Our mission is to provide a loving Christ-like
atmosphere in which friends and family can worship God and celebrate
