What to Expect if You Visit Us
- There is always a confrontation with sin. The wages of sin are always death and Jesus has provided a means of escape through repentance and faith in His blood. sin must be dealt with quickly through amputation.
- Our services are two hours or so, we don’t punch a clock, so we’re finished when we’re finished. our focus is on prayer and the scriptures and we don’t follow a set format.
- We recommend at least casual attire, no jeans, shorts. It’s a serious thing to come into the presence of God and your attire and mine reflect our attitude toward God. There’s no dress code but a sobriety before a holy God is needed.
- Given that we have a small congregation, we’re unable to provide childcare services.

The Great Commission
This is one of the most important commandments in all of scripture. This is our mission, both individual and corporately, to seek to bring others into the kingdom of God.
Here is what Jesus said,
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Matthew 28:19-20
