Who We Are

We are a congregation that is celebrating our 150th Anniversary in 2013. Started as a German Reformed Church, the congregation now is a mix of culture and backgrounds. We have a blended worship style using praise and worship mixed with Hymns. We have a Jr. Church for children during our main worship service for those that desire to participate in that area. Children are always welcome to remain with the congregation in the sanctuary as we learn and grow in Christ through, music and ministry of the Word.
