“We aren’t perfect by any means, but our goal is to become more like Jesus everyday.”
My favorite experience each week is gathering in what’s called The Pastor’s Study.
Can you believe that our Pastor invites input from anyone in the congregation as he prepares his sermon?!
That’s exactly what happens as we gather around scripture each week and share our insights and questions.
How many pastors are willing to do that?

“The most warm and welcoming church that I have ever been to”.
I loved the positive sermon themes, the Praise Band, the Choir, even the way this church distributes communion by intinction. Pastor Mike is an exceptional Pastor encouraging the congregation every week to be more like Jesus. His sermons are inspiring and comforting.
