Please Pray.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."

The full scope of devastation from Hurricane Helene is being realized as the floodwaters recede. At least 150 deaths have been confirmed, and millions are still without power. The impact is widespread across multiple states in the Southeast.


Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SBDR) teams are rapidly deploying to serve these communities. More than twenty response sites have been activated across the region. Your gifts are supplying meals, water, temporary roofing, flood recovery supplies, and more for these sites.

Singing has a unique way of uplifting the spirit and spreading joy, especially during the Christmas season. The melodies and lyrics of carols remind us of the love, hope, and joy that the birth of Jesus represents. As we venture out into our neighborhoods, we can bring the Light of Jesus to those who may be feeling lonely or down, offering them a moment of joy and warmth through our songs. Each carol we sing can serve as a reminder of the love of Jesus and the spirit of giving that this season embodies. Together, we can make this season a little brighter for everyone we meet.

If you have any questions, just send us an email or if you are at church, stop by the Welcome Table. We are so happy to talk to you about how Jesus loves you! Our heart is to share the love of Jesus with everyone we meet, and if you read something in our statement of faith that brings up some questions, just let us know! What We Believe

Baptism. Do you have questions?

Are you asking, "Do I need to get baptized? Is my child ready to be baptized? Am I ready to be baptized? I have so many questions and am not sure where to turn...HELP!"


We realize there are many questions regarding baptism and we want to help you understand this Biblical action. Does Baptism save you? No, only Jesus can save you—baptism is an outward expression of the inward transformation that happens when you accept Christ as your Savior. ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE YOU.  If you are not sure about any of this, we hope you will come to a NEXTSTEP CLASS or stop by to the Welcome Desk so we can talk with you. Elders, deacons, staff and volunteers are always available to talk with you. Our heart is that you know Jesus as your Savior and we want you to know that we are here to help you! You are loved!

circleheart  Our beautiful sister, Tanya, has gone to be with the Lord. This is a hard time as we experience this loss — but we remember that Tanya is rejoicing with the Lord, where there is no more sickness, or hurting or sorrow. This amazing woman has touched thousands of lives. She was an example of true love. She loved Jesus with all of her heart and shared that love with every person she met. She was a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Please lift Pastor Andy and the entire Ehlers family and Davis family in prayer as they walk through this time. May the peace and comfort of our Lord and Savior cover them and give them the strength and courage they need. Thank you church for praying.
