Living in Light of the Day
to worship with us today. If there are questions that you have, or things that we can be praying for, we would love to talk with you! “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” The amazing thing about the gospel, indeed a stumbling block for many, is the truth that Jesus saves us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but…

Easter Sunday: The Power of the Resurrection
Good morning and welcome to our celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ! This is the most pivotal event in human history.
