Church Information

Our church was founded on November 23, 1838 and over the past 175 years we have strived to be a light for the Lord in our community.

The building has been remodeled and added to numerous times over the years but our message of hope and love have remained constant.

We desire to be a family where all people feel loved and cared for and where Jesus Christ is proclaimed. We desire to help each person find the place where they can serve the Lord. We would love to have you join us as we seek to please and serve the Lord.
