Text Box: We welcome you to our Church Family! We are a group of people of all ages and from all walks of life who have heard God’s call through Jesus Christ to serve Him and serve each other. We worship together to celebrate our salvation in Jesus, our joy in God’s presence, the fellowship we have in the Holy Spirit, and to listen as He speaks to us through His Word. We are a part of the Evangelical Covenant Church, which began in the great spiritual revival of the 19th century. We believe in new life that comes through a personal relationship with Christ. We believe in the Bible as the Word of God and the only true basis for faith, doctrine and practice. Childcare is provided for children up to the age of three. Children’s Worship (3 yrs thru 2nd gd.) is provided during the school year in Room 118; children can be picked up there. Restrooms are located on the east side on the main level, tucked in behind our parlor kitchen. Hearing-assistance devices are available. Please ask an usher.
