Welcome to our website! We are glad that you took the time to learn more our church. Before you begin searching around our site there are a few things you should know about us:
Again, we want to thank you for visiting our website and we hope to see you someday in one of our services. If you have questions about our church, please feel free to come in to the office during the week and talk with Pastor Tim or contact us by phone or email.
- We believe that the Word of God is the authority for all of our beliefs and actions in this life. We believe that the Word of God consists of 66 books divided into two sections that are often called the Old and New Testaments. Pastor Shaw preaches from the ESV every week, but we encourage you to use whatever translation you are comfortable with. While we do not insist on a specific translation, we do insist that the Word of God in its original languages was without error and that God has worked to preserve the accuracy of His Word through the ages. It is a living and enduring and truth-worthy authority for all mankind.
- We believe that Jesus Christ, who has existed all eternity, came to this earth, lived a sinless life, then died bearing the sins of everyone. But he did something no other person has ever done, he came back from the dead and never died again. He conquered death and sin and for those who will repent of their sin and follow him as Lord and Savior. Christ is the only way for eternal life with God. Each person must choose before they die to accept Christ as Savior or reject him. Each decision carries a consequence, one leads to eternal life with God and the other leads to eternal punishment in Hell.
- We believe that local churches are placed on earth by God to proclaim the whole message of the Bible, as well as leading people into worship, prayer, and obedience to Christ in every part of their life. We have chosen to shape our ministries to accomplish those God-given tasks.
- If you join us, you will probably notice that there are a lot of kids in the service. We encourage families to sit together in church, kids and all, for a number of reasons. First, we believe that the Bible calls for all people to worship God and study His Word, no matter their age. Second, we want to help families by giving them similar content so that they can discuss God’s Word when they are at home. Thirdly, we love the beauty, joy, and variety that families bring into our worship services. Lastly, we love the inter-generational contact that happens through the services. No one is isolated in their age bracket or stage of life.
So do we have nursery care? Yes! We provide skilled and safe nursery care for all of our regularly scheduled services. But we try to work all of the kids into the services by time they are three years old. It might seem daunting, but we have seen the benefits many times over. If you aren’t sure how this all works, please ask Pastor Shaw.
