We are a Christ-centered family of faith, passionate about worshiping God, walking together in fellowship, and serving others with love. Our mission is to proclaim the hope of the Gospel, nurture spiritual growth, and extend Christ’s compassion to our community and beyond.
Our church is more than a building—it is a spiritual home where everyone is valued, supported, and encouraged to discover their God-given purpose. Together, we seek to live out our faith with joy, integrity, and love, making a lasting difference in the world around you
Our mission is to be a Christ-centered community where worship deepens our faith, fellowship strengthens our unity, and service reflects God’s love. We are committed to proclaiming the Gospel, equipping believers to live as disciples, and reaching out with compassion to transform lives and impact the world for Christ
As a Methodist church, our faith is rooted in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and guided by Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience.
We joyfully affirm the historic Christian faith and seek to live it out with grace and love.
We Believe:
In the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — who created us, redeems us through Christ, and sustains us by the Spirit.
In Jesus Christ — God’s Son, fully divine and fully human — who lived among us, died for our sins, rose again, and offers salvation and eternal life to all who believe.
In the Holy Spirit — who empowers us to live holy lives, comforts us in our struggles, and equips us for service in the world.
In the authority of the Holy Bible — the inspired Word of God and our guide for faith and practice.
In God’s grace — God’s free gift of love, calling us to repentance, faith, and holy living. We believe in prevenient grace (God’s love going before us), justifying grace (God’s forgiveness through faith in Christ), and sanctifying grace (God’s work of making us holy in heart and life).
In the Church — the body of Christ, called to worship God, grow in discipleship, serve others, and witness to the hope of the Gospel.
In the sacraments — Baptism and Holy Communion — as means of God’s grace and signs of His love.
In Christian living — expressing our faith through love, justice, service, and care for the poor, marginalized, and oppressed.
In eternal life — trusting in the resurrection and the promise of being united with God forever.
Our faith is both personal and social. We believe God calls us not only to grow in holiness of heart and life but also to work for peace, justice, and healing in the world.
Gather with us to worship God through prayer, praise, and the preaching of His Word. Our services are centered on glorifying Christ and nurturing a deeper relationship with Him.
Serving our community with Christ’s love through acts of compassion, care, and service. We reach out to meet spiritual and practical needs, reflecting God’s heart for people.
Growing in faith through Bible-based teaching, discipleship, and learning opportunities for all ages. Our programs equip believers to live out God’s Word in everyday life.
