We're certainly not perfect in our church, but we've discovered something worth sharing with you.

Like you, we daily need wisdom and love beyond our own capacities. Because of this we've found it important to set aside a few hours each week to worship God and learn from His Word. In our Sunday School and worship services both young and old learn principles for successful living, not just for Sunday but also for everyday.

Another source of strength and joy is the support that other Christians give. What encouragement comes from being with people from a variety of backgrounds and interests who care about each other. How helpful it is to listen to the wisdom of older Christians and enjoy the exuberance of the young. What a comfort to receive encouragement and help from friends in time of need.

Our families have found that the old saying "The family that prays together stays together" is true. As we come together to worship God and learn from His Word, we develop a common bond. Father, mother, and children coming to church together are strengthened in their commitment to God and to each other. New answers to family needs are revealed as God's Word is taught.

We've also learned that King Solomon was right when he wrote, "Train . . . a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." With so many young people involved in drugs, immorality, the occult, and other crises, we're please to have children and teenagers in our Sunday School, learning the eternal truths of the Word of God. What better foundation for a happy, productive life can you offer your child?

All the benefits that we enjoy are based on our commitment to Jesus Christ and the Word of God. When you commit your life to Christ as Savior, you come into a special relationship with God that enables you to face life's problems and bear then with His aid and the help of His people.

We believe Christ's words: "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." We believe, as the Bible teaches, that Jesus made eternal life and forgiveness available to us when He died on the cross for our sins: "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God . . ." We also believe that by putting your trust in the risen Lord Jesus Christ, you too can share the blessings of God and His people: "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

We sincerely want to be your friend in the neighborhood. We welcome you to share the joy that we've found.
