About Belonging to a Church Family                                                                     
We were called to belong, not just to believe.   We were created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family.   And none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.  The Bible says we were put together, joined together, built together, members together, heirs together, fitted together, and held together.  We are not on our own anymore. 

God designed His Church specifically to help us fulfill the 5 purposes that He has for our lives.  He created the Church to meet your 5 deepest needs - a purpose to live for, people to live with, principles to live by, a profession to live out, and power to live on.  There is nothing on earth like the church!  

Sermons on Cassette
The Board of Outreach has CDs available each weekend after the Sunday service of that weekend's message.  Pick up a copy to share with a friend, family member, neighbor or work associate.  You can also hear the weekend messages online on our webpage.  

And as always, bring a friend with you to worship! 

Pastor's Sunday Bible Study (held in the cafeteria)  9:30-10:30 a.m.

BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY since we also offer Youth (High School), Junior High/Confirmation Instruction (grades 6-8), and Sunday School which we call Way Station (for children pre-kindergarten through grade 5).
