Unlike some churches that seek to entertain, churches of Christ have a different goal for worship. We are a loving fellowship passionately committed to being the bride of Christ - God’s called out people. The goal of our church is to foster spiritual formation in believers and nonbelievers through edification, worship and the encouragement of private prayer while attempting to meet both spiritual and physical needs. We try to create a holy place where strangers become friends and where everyone feels safe enough to share who they are - a place where everyone can ask the really important questions of life. Bible class is a “fearless space” where such questions are explored and can be responded to in a loving manner.
