Category Archives: About Us

We are a congregation that belongs to the denomination Churches of God, General Conference. Our congregation was established around 1832, so there is a long, rich history of our church. Our main tenants include the following: the Bible is the inspired Word of God & is the only source of written divine inspiration, and salvation is available only through Jesus Christ. We also recognize three ordinances of the church: baptism (by immersion), the Lord’s Supper, and feet washing. Lastly, we believe that Jesus Christ is the only means through which man can be saved, & we look forward to his return one day. Until that happens, we have a duty to reach the lost throughout the whole world, preaching Jesus Christ & him crucified, urging them to accept Christ as their Lord & Savior.
