Worship Services

Going to church each week is very similar to attending a family reunion.  It is a congregation of genuinely kind and friendly people who make visitors feel as if they are returning home.

Tomorrow's Church

It is encouraging to see the young adults (tomorrow's church) faithfully attending services.  Nearest in the photo is Hassan Hoagland, one of the drummers and bass guitar players on the praise team.

Tori Eva and Melvin Trahan

Many young men today are reserving Sundays for recreation and entertainment.  It is encouraging to see these men sitting in church and studying the Word of God.

The Diversity of Our Family

It is the goal of Pastor Morris to avoid building a church that is based upon ethnicity.  Everyone is welcome and encouraged to be active members in the church's ministries.

More Church Family

We are hoping to build our church membership up to 200 this year.  There is plenty of room for growth and we believe that our goals will be achieved.

Sister Morris and Sister Turner

These ladies are only two of the friendly faces that you will find in the church on Sunday mornings.  The smile that is seen on the outside can also been seen in their attitudes and heard in their voices.
