It’s our mission to spread the hope of Jesus Christ to people we come in contact with. We believe that through relationship with Him, we will SERVE GOD better, LOVE PEOPLE with a genuine love, and DO LIFE TOGETHER as God has designed and intended us to live as His Church.
“Serve God, Love People, Do Life Together”
Our Beliefs
A Church Dedicated To Jesus
Jesus is Lord of all things and He has promised that His Church will be triumphant and victorious in serving this world the way that He did. We are a group of believers who are dedicated to serving the Lord as He has faithfully served us.
A Church That Believes In Family
We believe that what God created in the Family structure is sacred. We believe the education for the family begins at home, then the Church will do our best to meet the needs of the family.
A Church Serving The Community
We love our community and are involved in the schools, other ministries planted in our city. We fully support our food bank called “Associated Charities”, and we support the Arkansas Valley Pregnancy Center with monthly donations, and volunteering our time and talents.
A Church That Reaches The World
We are committed to funding and sending missionaries all around the world to establish meaningful outreaches that save lives, provide homes for orphans, distribute food to the starving, provide medical support for the impoverished, build churches, train leaders, and spread the good news of Jesus Christ around the world.
A Church For All People
Jesus Christ paid the debt of sin and died for each person so that they could become a part of His Kingdom. We do our best to reach out to anyone who desires to have a closer walk with the Lord. All people from all nations are welcome to our Church.
We are affiliated with the Assemblies of God Fellowship.
