Church During the Pandemic Crisis
- Hebrews 10:24-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
During this time of uneasiness, we need Christ more than ever. We don't want you to miss out of HIS Word. Even though we can't congregate in the physical building right now, we always want to reach and teach you wherever you are. As Christ dwells in our hearts through our faith, let us not forget the importance of fellowship right now. We have the below opportunities available for you learn and fellowship with us. Don't just stop here, keep scrolling down to learn more about the church and our other opportunities for fellowship that will be available once we can congregate again. Be on the lookout for our in-person Church in the Park Services and other Virtual Events.

From the energetic preaching on Sunday morning to the knowledgeable and innovative teaching styles seen in Sunday School and Bible Study, you will not only receive preaching and teaching that will aid in your growth in Christ, but the ability to exercise that growth through our many ministries.
Our Sunday School and Bible Study classes are structured so that you receive teaching based on your age levels. We also have a few Sunday School classes that are topic-based. Throughout the year we have teaching series and topic-based Bible Study classes as well.

How Do I Get Involved?
We offer ministries to educate, enrich, or comfort you during every stage of your life. It doesn’t matter if you are a babe in Christ or a mature Christian, we are continuously developing ministries and events to meet the needs of the community and mature their relationship with God. Being a member of a church is more than just hearing God’s word on Sunday, it’s about developing a relationship with God. We encourage you to be active in the church, use your spiritual gifts, and experience growth as you help others to grow by sharing your testimonies. Proverbs 27:17 - Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
