We are pleased to share some exciting news. After much prayer and thoughtful consideration, our church leadership has voted to move forward with the ordination of one of our founding members.
Ordination is a special recognition of a person's faithfulness, spiritual maturity, commitment to Christ, and willingness to serve God's people. It is both an honor and a responsibility, and we believe this individual has demonstrated these qualities through their service to our church and community.
Candidate: Donald Robert Dawson
We will be holding a special Ordination Service on June 28, 2026, at 9 am. This will be a meaningful time of worship, prayer, and celebration as we recognize God's calling upon his life and ministry.
As a church family, we invite each of you to join us for this special occasion and to keep our candidate in your prayers as they prepare for this important step in his faith journey.
May God continue to bless our church as we grow together in faith and service. Thank you, and God bless you all.

OUR VALUES
Statement of Faith
We are on a journey in a shared Christian faith and spiritual principles. We are confident and trust in God, committed to serve and share, providing spiritual guidance to members and community. We do this through faith, hope and love. Through the Bible, the character and will of God are revealed to humanity. We are rooted in the stories of the Bible which is the supreme source of truth for all Christians. The Bible defines love and how we should live, leading us to love God. When understood and practiced we will also become better people.
