We are a caring, happy, loving, people of God who believe our calling is to witness the love and salvation we receive through Jesus Christ to all with whom we come in contact, We seek ways to serve and minister to all humankind.

We believe that the Bible, both the Old and New Testament, is the inspired Word of God and is the final authority in faith and life.

We believe that prayer is our means of communicating directly with God and as we pray, worship and engage in Christian fellowship, we will be strengthened by the Holy Spirit.

We worship together, as individuals and families, to increase our knowledge of Jesus Christ and His mission here on earth. We jointly participate in the sacraments in praise of God's love.

We provide regular educational and in-depth study programs for all age individuals to increase our knowledge and understanding of faith, God's Word, and commitment to our Lord. Our educational program is intended to provide a means to grow in discipleship.

We provide financial resources not only to care for our own, but also to help our fellowman. We give not only our money, but our time and talents in gratitude to God for His gifts to us.
