A Word From Our Pastor:
“Scripture must be central and foundational to all that we do in Christ’s church. Without it we have no sure way of knowing our great Savior the Lord Jesus, or what God is like, or what pleases and displeases Him, or even how to serve Him. I became a believer through the power of the Holy Spirit when He made this same Scripture live to me and I was compelled to flee to Jesus and live.”
