What We Do
At our church, we strive to provide a welcoming and inclusive community where individuals can come together to deepen their faith and build meaningful connections with one another. Through our worship services, groups, and events, we offer opportunities for personal growth, spiritual exploration, and service to others. Our mission is to spread God’s love and message of hope to all who seek it, and we are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where everyone can feel valued and appreciated.
As part of the Trinity there are three Sunday Schools which are on during Sunday Services.
Special Services include Christmas or Easter, with special hymns, readings, and sermons.
