Sunday Morning Worship


The Heart of Man

Romans 1:18–32

Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025


Every human heart contains


· THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

· THE DESIRE TO CREATE IDOLS

· THE ABILITY TO BE HARDENED


The perversion of worship eventually becomes the perversion of behavior.

▪ You are driven by your will.

▪ You are delusional in your mind.

▪ You are darkened in your heart.


· THE CAPACITY FOR ENDLESS PRAISE



We warmly welcome you if you are without a church home!


Join us for worship every Sunday at 9:30 am.


May God Bless You Abundantly.


New Member

Welcome Zac!

Sunday's Baptisms!


We are thankful that five people surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ and publicly demonstrated that decision through baptism.


It was truly a joyful day, and we thank the Lord for their obedience.

A big thank you to everyone who dedicated their time and effort to make this happen, and special thanks to Dale Davis for his faithful leadership.
