A Welcome From The Pastor
It has been my honor to pastor this wonderful church since July of 2007. There is a spirit of love, joy and unity that permeates this place every time we gather. We are a forever family, bound together by God’s love and His Word. We are not perfect people, but we do serve a perfect Lord. It would be an honor to have you visit with us in any of our services. In the meantime, please browse our web-site. And if you should feel led to visit with us, service times and directions are available on the site. I always greet our guests after the service in the welcome center, so please stop by and introduce yourself.
May God’s Richest Blessings Abide With You,
Pastor Bill Bigham (1st Timothy 1:12)
