We have five parking areas that provide quick and easy access into our facilities. We have a specific parking area for guest & handicap. It is clearly marked by signage as you come upon the church campus. You will be met by greeters who will point you in the direction you need to go.
We believe in the one Eternal God and Father in heaven and in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative, and infallible Word of God to man. We believe, as expressed in the Scriptures, that an individual can receive the forgiveness of sin and the gift of eternal life only through faith in Christ, receiving Him as their personal Lord and Savior. For more information about our beliefs, read Our Story or contact us.
Individuals who receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and publicly profess their faith will have the opportunity, out of obedience to Christ, to be baptized by immersion.
We emphasize membership, because Christ gave priority to the church’s growth and health. Choosing to be a member clearly expresses your commitment to Christ and to God our Father in heaven through committing to his bride, the family of believers. We all need a spiritual family to support and encourage us in the Faith. We accept members into the church in one of the following three ways:
- Profession of Faith and Baptism – Individuals who profess for the first time their faith in Christ by receiving Him as their personal Lord and Savior and in obedience to Him follow in baptism by immersion.
- Transfer of Membership – Individuals who are members of another Baptist church can request membership via a transfer of their membership to this congregation.
- Statement of Faith – Individuals who are members of a non Baptist church can request membership upon a declaration of having received Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and having in obedience to Him followed with baptism by immersion. Otherwise, baptism by immersion will be required for membership.
