Our Pastor
We are a small group of 3-4 families that meet together on Sunday mornings to encourage and embolden one another to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. The man who leads us is the head of his household and is a volunteer pastor. We seek to search out the scriptures and to apply Godly principles to our lives. We believe that the bible is the inerrant word of God. We believe that God exists in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a man, died on the cross for all mankind and rose from the dead the third day. We believe that He is in heaven, with the Father, and that He will return one day for His people.
