We are ordinary people with all the dreams, hopes and hurts that everyone has. Our lives have trials and disappointments but we know the gift of salvation (deliverance from sin through Jesus Christ's death on the cross) through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Because of that relationship with Christ we experience a great joy that can’t be described.  We have made the conscious choice to follow the leadership of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to support and love each other as He has taught us to do in the scriptures.  We invite you to come and be a part of God’s family.
