Our Annual Spring Clean Up will be Saturday May 12th at 9 am. We would like to do a good spring clean inside as well, meaning dusting pew benches, front alter and organ wood work, etc. There willbe a clip board sent around Sunday May 6th for any and all that are interested in helping with the inside work. Inside cleaners will need to bring their own rags for cleaning and cleaning products. Any yard clean up people will also need to bring rakes, brooms, maybe barrels to put garbage in.

~Our Mission Statement~

Inspired by the truth of Scripture, we believe that God's primary purpose for our church is to bring all persons into spiritual relationship with God through Jesus Christ by our uplifting words, our loving deeds and our Christian example so that we may reach out and minister to others, in each of whom we see the very image of Christ.
