    A very warm and welcoming place of worship. My wife and I love the traditional worship and Sunday School classes. Our older children enjoy the contemporary worship and small groups. Our younger children love the youth activities. …

    Funeral of a dear friend. This is a story about bad things happen to good people. Dianne was vibrant & happy. Felt a pain in her stomach & back. No other health problems. Went to doctor & found stage 4 pancreatic cancer. In 30 days, she passed. Astonishing how unfair life is.

    I attended the Spanish service for the ASL interpretation. The interpreting was amazing! The preaching was Bible based and unique. The Spirit of the Lord was active among His people! It was VERY loud, but otherwise, a wonderful worship experience.

    My children went to Wee Learn for a 6 year span and we were so sad to graduate out and only get to go for summers. I cannot recommend them enough.
