Ordinary people, an extraordinary Savior.

What we believe.

Read the Statement
“To glorify God through intentional worship, discipleship, and evangelism.”Our Mission

We’re a confessional Baptist church. We hold the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired, inerrant, and sufficient Word of God — our only rule for faith and life. We believe the gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, lived, died, and rose again to save sinners.

We preach the Word expositionally, baptize believers by immersion, observe the Lord’s Supper as a congregation, and affirm the Baptist Faith & Message 2000 as a faithful summary of biblical doctrine.

Visiting on Sunday

Come & hear.

No dress code beyond casual to business casual. Restrooms have baby-changing stations. Bring your Bible — if you don’t have one, we’d love to give you one.

People here are warm and friendly. Say hi!
