We had a MONUMENTAL Vacation Bible School this year, thanks to YOU! Our kids brought so many friends to join us in the fun, everyone participated joyfully in games and competition, and most importantly we learned so much about God and His love for us! Thanks to everyone who made this VBS one of our best ones yet! 

Wishing you a safe and happy Fourth of July! God bless America

On Sunday June 26th, we witnessed the baptism of

Olivia Taylor Beavers, daughter of Jesse and Kristen Beavers.

We want to encourage you to share your testimony during worship in the coming weeks. It is important for us to realize the value of our testimony and the impact it can have on others' lives. Not only do our testimonies represent us coming to Christ, but they can also continue to bring others to Him when we share them. If you feel called to give your testimony, please contact Pastor Tony.

BAPTISM AT THE CREEK

For years, Christians have been baptized to declare to the world that they are believers and followers of Jesus Christ. Being baptized and remembering your baptism are significant steps on your spiritual journey and we look forward to celebrating them with you.


Sunday, July 24th at 5:30pm, we will have our baptism at the creek event. We have several children, youth and adults who have already reserved their spot for this special event, to be baptized or to remember their baptism in Autauga Creek. Contact Pastor Tony for more information or to let him know you are wanting to participate in this fun, family-friendly event!
