We are not a program-driven or event-driven church.
We are people-driven. The Mission
Our focus is for every person to be involved in ministry through pursuing and proclaiming Christ.
First, our leaders are devoted to helping people know God through worship. Second, we are all striving to grow through discipleship. Third, our gold is to help everyone go into all the world on mission.

The International Missions Team is led by Ronnie McAlpin. We send members out every year to serve on mission trips. Recently, our church as been to Honduras, China, Uganda, and the Dominican Republic. We are seeking God's direction in reaching an unreached people group and plan to engage a specific group of people who may have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We desire to take responsibility for getting the Word of God to them and be an example of it in front of them.
