Come Worship with Us
We gather in our sanctuary on Sunday mornings at 10:00am - for worship, prayer, music, and friendship.

In the spirit of the Baptist principle of "soul freedom," we invite everyone to participate and share their callings and gifts. We serve communion on the first Sunday of each month.

When you come to the church, park in the lot at 224 Main Street and come through the glass door at the top of the ramp. You can also join us live online on Facebook. You can follow along in the bulletin. Just click on the navigation bar at the top of this page. About Us>Our Bulletins
