What We Believe

We exist to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ. As a Reformed Baptist church, we joyfully affirm the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession as a faithful summary of biblical doctrine. We believe the Bible is God’s inerrant, sufficient Word and the final authority for faith and life. Our aim is to proclaim Christ, live according to His Word, and grow together as His people in truth, love, and holiness.

Who We Are

We’re a close-knit church family that gathers each Lord’s Day for reverent worship, serious preaching, and unhurried fellowship. Our services are centered on the Word of God read, preached, prayed, and sung and we aim to live as a people shaped by Scripture. We cherish the whole day as the Lord’s, setting it apart for worship, rest, and time together as a church body. If you're looking for thoughtful, Bible-saturated teaching and a church that feels like home, we’d love to have you join us.

Kids & Families
We believe children are a blessing from the Lord and a vital part of the church body. That’s why we practice integrated worship, with children of all ages participating in the service alongside their parents. This has been the historic pattern of the church and remains the example we see in Scripture, God’s people gathered together, young and old, under the Word.

While we don’t offer a nursery or children’s church, we warmly welcome the sounds and presence of little ones in worship. We believe there's deep value in children seeing and hearing the Word read, sung, preached, and prayed as part of the gathered church.

On Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. during the school year, kids come together for a time of rich discipleship, including theology, music, games, snacks, and even a bit of Hebrew! In the summer, we focus on Bible Bee, encouraging Scripture memorization and study in a joyful setting.

Sunday School at 9:00 a.m. includes classes for children and adults, and we all come together at 10:15 a.m. for worship. Families stay after for a weekly fellowship meal, sharing life across generations as one body in Christ.
