BECAUSE OF THIS CHURCH. . .

God Is Reaching & Teaching Children, Youth, Families, & Seniors

of Our Community for the transformation of the World

BECAUSE OF THIS CHURCH Jesus allows us to help nurture and meet the needs of the people in our awesome community.

​

BECAUSE OF THIS CHURCH the people of our community have the freedom to explore new horizons, make new friends, pray for others and receive prayer, experience love and compassion, ask the questions about God that have been keeping them awake at night, and most importantly begin - build - and grow their relationship with Jesus (no matter their age).

BECAUSE OF THIS CHURCH we have been able to develop an after school program, JAM. This  program is one way kids are hearing the Gospel, praising and worshiping God, being creative, playing outside, and getting help with their homework. Stemming from the JAM program are our FX Family Dinners that bring people of all ages and walks of life together over food, fun, and fellowship. And our youth have a safe place to gather and share life.

BECAUSE OF THIS CHURCH you have a friend in Jesus, and can discover how you can secure your eternity in heaven.

WE ARE WORSHIPING ONLINE ONLY

Traditional Service - Sunday 

8:30 AM & 11:00 AM

(WINTER WORSHIP SCHEDULE)

In our main Sanctuary, we hold our traditional service. This is an hour full of hymns, prayer, scripture reading, and a gospel message from our Senior Pastor, Mike Briggs. 

After service, join us for fellowship, coffee & snacks, in the gathering area.

The Nursery is open during service for infants to 5 years, and Adult Sunday School follows immediately after worship. 

Contemporary Service - Sunday

9:45 AM

(WINTER WORSHIP SCHEDULE)

If contemporary is more your style of worship, we invite you to our “UMAC” facility, which stands for United Methodist Activity Center.

​

Before service, you can partake in a breakfast buffet (provided by attendees) and a cup of coffee, while enjoying fellowship with others.  Then, we join to sing along with praise choruses, and worship together, as Pastor Mike Briggs shares his message for the week.

​

We also offer an infant/preschool Nursery, and Sunday School classes  for Kindergarten-5th grades & Middle & High School Youth, during this service.
