Weddings

One of the greatest reflections of Christ’s love is marriage. It is our pleasure to unite spiritual persons in Holy Matrimony, or in vow renewals. Our pastoral staff would be honored to assist you in making your wedding ceremony a truly memorable event, with Gods blessing. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready – Revelations 19:7

Baptisms

We believe in observing certain spiritual milestones in the lives of people who seek God. The decision to appeal to God for his grace and to begin a new life with Jesus Christ. Baptism is a way of celebrating this important decision. We want you to be informed about the biblical meaning of baptism. As a church it gives us great pleasure to celebrate your baptism with you, as a symbol of a spiritual change that has happened in your life. ▪ And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. – Mark 1:4

Funerals

The loss of a loved one is difficult. If you need counseling, services or would like to speak with the pastor, please don’t hesitate. We are here to help. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. – Matthew 5:4
