In addition to regular Sunday worship activities, the church has a youth program, a children's church, music ministry, and a program for seniors and a ladies Bible study.

Our Ordinances
Our church practices two ordinances, baptism and the Lord's Supper.
(1) Baptism is by immersion and is symbolic of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Romans 6:4-6)
(2) The Lord's Supper is taken to remember what Christ did for our salvation. (1 Corinthians 11:24-26)
Our Beliefs About
God: There is only one true God who reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is creator, judge and redeemer of all mankind.
Jesus Christ: He is God in flesh, born of a virgin, was crucified, died and was buried but resurrected from the dead for our sins. He will return for his Church.
The Holy Spirit: He is a part of the Godhead; he convicts mankind of sin and convinces mankind for the need of salvation.
The Bible: It is the inspired word of God and is therefore without error. It is the written revelation of God whereby he makes himself known to all humanity.
Salvation: It is a gift from God based upon His grace and extended to all those who will repent of sin and place their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord Savior.
Heaven and Hell: Heaven is a literal place where the saved shall live eternally and hell is a literal place where the unsaved will be punished by God.
