9:30 Contemporary (An effort to reach the 18-45 age group) Sermon and song to encourage and allow expressive worship in a congregational fashion. Song and sermon should deal with family values; marriage; rearing kids, career choices.
11:30 Evangelistic – We will keep this at 90 minutes, but if the spirit says so, there is no time restraint. This will be a soul winning/soul seeking service. Good live singing and moving preaching. Power packed from beginning to end.”

We have without mental reservation of any kind sincerely receive and adopted the above statement of Faith as being the fundamental doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures.
