We warmly welcome you to worship with us on Sundays at 10:30 am
We would be honored to have you worship with us. We believe in your spiritual freedom, so you won't feel any pressure. What you will find is a family-oriented congregation that believes in a loving and merciful God. He is always looking for ways to gently lead us toward an eternal life of increasingly healthy relationships with Him, our spouse, family, friends and those we have yet to meet. Our goal as a church is help each other open the door to His message and love, allowing Him to guide and inspire us on our path.

Marriage is a Verb!
"It’s not something you get.
It’s
something you do.”

The
expectation behind marriage is probably the highest of any relationship,
and for good reason. The marriage relationship between
a husband and wife can become “the precious jewel of human
life” (Marriage Love 457). Couples are given a brief taste of this love during
their honeymoon. But the high hopes of marriage can be
shattered when people assume that the fading of their “first love”
in marriage is a loss of their love altogether. In reality, true marriage love is waiting
to be won and made our own by our whole-hearted investment in this relationship. Marriage
is a process the Lord wants to help everyone
work on (single, married, divorced, or widowed). We all
become good “candidates” for marriage by letting the Lord build
the marriage (Ps. 127).
Oak Arbor School Benefit - March 27
Mark your calendar for this wonderful annual event. The evening will begin with appetizers
and wine while bidding goes on. Later, you'll be treated to a fantastic dinner
after which the auctions will be closed. Next, there will be a delicious dessert, and it's on with a show that is sure to entertain .... Not-So-Grimm
Tales by Kevin Bean. We hope to see you there!
Story of the 'Widow's Penny'
Taken literally, this is a wonderful story about faith and giving that offers a simple and good Christian lesson. But this story also offers a deeper spiritual meaning. Theological Candidate Brian Smith explains (on the Tools for Life page) how this story is also about Spiritual Poverty. How does this apply to our lives?
