About Us

We are a growing, multi-generational church in a rural setting. We are more traditional in worship style, but we love to incorporate more modern styles that are still theologically rich. This is a very loving congregation and truly does feel like a family. We have always had a wonderful relationship with our musicians. We are in an exciting place right now as youth and younger people are showing interest in joining the choir and participating with enthusiasm.
