WelcomeWe're
certainly not perfect in our church, but we've discovered something worth sharing
with you. Like you, we daily need wisdom and love beyond our
own capacities. Because of this we've found it important to set aside a few hours
each week to worship God and learn from His Word. In our Sunday School
and worship services both young and old learn principles for successful living,
not just for Sunday but for everyday. Another source of strength and joy
is the support that other Christians give. That encouragement comes from being
with people from a variety of backgrounds and interests, who care about each other.
How helpful it is to listen to the wisdom of older Christians and enjoy the exuberance
of the young. What a comfort to receive encouragement and help from friends in
time of need. Our families have found that the old saying, "The family
that prays together stays together" is true. As we come together to worship
God and learn from His Word, we develop a common bond. Father, mother and children
coming to church together are strengthened in their commitment to family, to God
and to each other. New answers to family needs are revealed as God's Word is taught
and discussed. We've also learned that King Solomon was right when he wrote,
"Train......a child in the way he should go; And when he is old, he will
not depart from it." With so many young people involved in drugs, immorality,
the occult, and other crises, we're pleased to have children and teenagers in
our Sunday School, learning the eternal truths of the Word of God. What better
foundation for a happy, productive life can you offer your child? All the
benefits that we enjoy are based on our commitment to Jesus Christ and the Word
of God. When you commit your life to Christ as Savior, you come into a special
relationship with God that enables you to face life's problems and bear them with
His aid and the help of His people. We believe Christ's words: "I am
come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly."
We believe, as the Bible teaches, that Jesus made eternal life and forgiveness
available to us when he died on the cross for our sins: "For Christ also
hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to
God....." We also believe that by putting your trust in the risen
Lord Jesus Christ, you too can share the blessings of God and His people: "If
thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." We sincerely
want to be your friend in the neighborhood. You are welcome to join us and share in the same joy
we've found.
