Our mission is to serve Jesus Christ, to be obedient to His Word, and to lead others to Him. We are searching for a pastor who believes Scripture, preaches TRUTH, and strives each day to be more like Christ in thought, word and deed. If you are looking for a place where you can serve God and feel like family among a community of believers, please consider us as you search for the place to which God is calling you.
