Our Mission
Our mission is to glorify God through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by connecting people to Christ and to each other, growing in our faith, serving one another and our community, and sharing the gospel with those around us.
Our History
Sunday School founded on December 7, marking the beginning of our church.
Our first building was dedicated.
The church joined the Conservative Baptist Association.
Our current facility, at the corner of US-127 and M-55, was built.

The inerrancy and authority of Scripture
The Trinity: one God in three Persons
The substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ
Salvation by grace through faith alone
Believer's baptism by immersion
The autonomy of the local church
This is a summary of our beliefs. Contact the church office for our complete statement of faith.
