Plan A Visit

We all know how difficult it can be when you enter a new church for the first time. Especially if you are new to a community and don’t know many people. We appreciate you and invite you to be our guest. If you are comfortable doing so, our pastor will be in the lobby after worship and would enjoy meeting you.
We hope you’ll join us!
