Our Services
Our services are engaging and relevent for all generations, while still maintaining an atmosphere of worship. Our main goals are to worship God, preach His Word, and to assist others in learning and growing closer to Him. Feel free to watch one of our services before your visit so you can better know what to expect.
Our Beliefs

​
• We believe Satan was once holy, and enjoyed heavenly honors; but he fell and after him a host of angels.
​

​
• We believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again; that the new birth is a new creation in Christ Jesus.
​
• We believe that Christ rose bodily the third day.
​
• The command to give the Gospel to the world is clear and unmistakable and this Commission was given to the churches.
​

Short-Term Missions
Short-term mission trips are one of the most exciting facets of our missions program. These trips are designed to encourage our missionaries, help them pursue new avenues of ministry and let our team experience missions first-hand. It will change your life!
​
Annual World Missions Conference
Every year we host a conference for our missions program. It’s an opportunity for our church to celebrate what God is doing across the world through the missionaries we partner with. During this time, we intentionally seek God’s direction for how he wants each of us to participate in missions in the upcoming year through our Faith Promise Missions Giving Ministry.
