This historic church was built in 1826 and has a long standing in the community. There are monthly community breakfasts that welcome every and anyone also giving away free clothing , a cooks who care program that feeds the elderly and ill during holidays and more, hosts AA and NA meetings, have summer camp annually, and host rise against hunger where they package then box foods to help feed the hungry. Separately they have a weekday school daycare with great teachers encouraging kids to explore and express themselves artistically. Overall a wonderful place to go worship, learn, and/or join your community

I am a part of the Worship Band in the early contemporary service @8:30AM. I am also involved with the Chancler (sp? ) Choir at the 11:00AM service. I really enjoy being a part of the services at this; now my home church. I'm so happy to be going to church! I express my deep appreciation by singing in both services. I try to make it to every practice...even tho I don't always make it to the 11:00 service, you will almost always see me in the early contemporary service at 8:30 AM....usually joyfully singing throughout the service 😸 I don't always make it to the 11:00 AM service because I'm either too sleepy n don't feel up to fighting sleep thru Sunday school and then again thru the 11:00 AM service...or...I'm just in too much pain....hips n lower back mostly....started physical therapy today April 28th 2014! I'm excited about it...I pray it helps my pain....or...both...I have good days and bad days...Please pray for me....God Bless....
