What is the community like?
Our congregation is friendly and welcoming. We seek to encourage each other, yet while holding each other accountable to the truth of God's Word. Our main fellowship is on the Lord's Day (Sundays), but we seek to stay connected throughout the week as well.

What if I'm not a Christian?
If you are not a Christian, we welcome you to come hear the Gospel each week. Our order of service is designed to teach sin, salvation, and service: we are sinners in need of salvation; we have salvation through the finished work of Christ and by our faith in Him, not by our work; and we are called to obey and serve Christ from joy and gratitude for His salvation. Our sermons also are meant to proclaim Christ and the Gospel. We are decidedly Reformed in our reading of the Bible.
