In Advent, we talk about Hope. And Joy. And Peace. And Love. But for us, these are more than just a concept. They are Truths. And these truths are found in a person. That person is Jesus. Come join us in this season as we talk about how Jesus is our hope, peace, joy, and love. Make plans to worship with us and be part of the life of our church this Advent season!

Blue Christmas Service
As joyous as this season is for many of us, it is not as happy for others. Each year, we offer a Blue Christmas Service for those who are having their "first" or maybe their "twentieth" Christmas without a loved one. For those who find this season especially hard, we'd love for you to join us on December 15th at 6:00 pm.
