Everyone I have met at this church is friendly and welcoming. They are generous to their community and surrounding communities. The pastor and his wife are gracious and pure of heart. The sermons are uplifting and not overly long. It is a mixture of Spanish and English with English being the predominant language. The food pantry on Thursday is a blessing. Thank you for all you do.
