The Lord added to our church today through both membership and baptism. Praise the Lord that we are not our own. We are bought with a price...the precious blood of God's own Son, Jesus Christ. It is now Christ who lives in us. Praise the Lord!

With overflowing gratitude to our gracious God, we rejoice to share that our church family has installed a 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 to serve alongside our two current elders! We thank the Lord for answering countless prayers and providing a faithful shepherd to help guide and care for His flock. Please join us in welcoming 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗝𝗧 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 and his family with love and thanksgiving to God.

“I will give you shepherds according to My heart,
who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” — Jeremiah 3:15

𝑆𝑝𝑢𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑒𝑠 𝑎 𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑘:
“He owns his people: they every one of them belong to him. He prizes them because they are his — sets a value upon every one of them. He takes care of them, remembering them both night and day, His heart is never off them; and because of his inward love there is an outward goodness which he constantly extends to them. He protects them from the wolf: he guards them from a thousand dangers: he sees to the supply of all their wants. He guides them in the right way: he brings them back when they wander: he strengthens them when they are weak: he carries them when they are too feeble to go. He sees that they are a weak flock, and a silly flock, and a wandering flock: therefore, he is their strength, their wisdom, their righteousness, their all.” -Whose Goodness Faileth Never, Charles Spurgeon: October 1, 1876

How blessed we are as a church!
Thanks be to God for this shepherd after God's own heart!
Welcome Pastor Stead and family!

Our Fall Preaching conference is happening soon!
October 31 - November 2
Pastor Jeff Johnson will teach on the Profile of a Pharisee.

Jesus said, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness." Matthew 23:27

Please join us at one, some, or all of our meetings and may the Lord convict us of our hypocrisy and lead us to the foot of the cross, that our hearts might be purified by the grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
