Church Statement
Realizing that you may not be familiar with the Church of Christ, we want to take this opportunity to let you become better acquainted with who we are. While this may not answer every question you have, hopefully it will give you insight into some of the tenets of our faith. We encourage you to contact us if you have questions or would like to visit with us further.
Our Mission
The life of Jesus centered on saving the lost (Luke 19:10). Therefore, the church's mission is sharing that saving message with the world (Matt. 28:18-20). Jesus changed lives then. Jesus changes lives now. To be like Jesus, we must learn to be servants (Matt. 23:11). Greatness in God's eyes is found in humility and serving. Therefore, our mission is to develop the hearts of servants and let Jesus work through us to reach those seeking salvation or a closer walk with Him. Jesus offers peace (John 14:27). Many lives are in conflict. Since Jesus came to bring peace our mission is to offer the message of peace and reconciliation found in God's Word.

Our Vision
Every member will grow in grace and knowledge (2 Pet. 3:8). We believe every member of our church family has some unique talent to use. Therefore, we work together to provide an environment where every member is encouraged to grow spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally. Truths we learn are reinforced and practiced in real life experiences. As a congregation of believers, we are united by a common bond of love and respect. We come together in one body (Eph. 4:4) to sing, pray, commune, teach and give. To offer worship that is scriptural, reverent, and engages the heart, soul and mind (John 4:24). Because we are a spiritual family worship is offered with all ages sharing together in the worship experience.
Our Values
As a family of believers every member is valued and important to the health of the church. (Rom.12; 1 Cor.12) The sanctity of marriage must be respected (Eph. 5). The health of the family unit is a barometer of the health of the church. Christ died not only to save us, but that we also might have an abundant life of faith, hope, and love (John.10:10; I Cor. 13). Bible instruction will provide (Rom. 1:16,17) a solid foundation to build on (Matt. 7:24).
Our Goals
*To become more and more like Jesus
*To go to heaven
*Do everything in our power to win souls to Christ
*To encourage every member to set individual goals and assist them in reaching them.
*To equip every Christian for ministry
*Develop and maintain strong families
