We follow the texts and passages scheduled using International Sunday Lessons. However, the Spirit of God serves as our primary teacher.
Join us as Pastor Allen and the congregation exalt the name of Jesus! We seek to experience the presence of God as we create an environment in which He may dwell, believers are encouraged and unbelievers are challenged to believe on the only begotten Son of God.
