Welcome! We're glad you've found our church!
I find when I talk to people about “church” that so many used to go to church.
Some have even admitted that they served in some capacity in the past. They may say, I used to attend youth group, used to sing in the choir, used to teach in Sunday School, lead the youth or even serve as a deacon or deaconess.
Well, I know many things can happen to cause someone to stop going to church, but let me suggest something. Maybe someone did something or said something that hurt you and that is sad!
Don’t let someone else’s actions steal away the love you are to have for the Lord Jesus and our Father.
Maybe you have moved and just couldn’t get back to church. Maybe you have had a tragedy in your family or marriage and feel angry and lonely. Why not come back and let God carry your load. Maybe you feel your previous church or pastor let you down. That happens because we are all fallible, but God is absolutely trustworthy and faithful.
So, what I am saying is that we all need the fellowship of other believers.
We need to be brought together and hear the Word and sing in worship.
I encourage you to come and visit with us on Sunday and quietly open your heart once again to worship a wonderful and loving God.
We hope to see you here!!
