  • We believe that teaching children to love God and others takes place in both the home and in the church. Our desire is to see children fall in love with God and learn to worship him through song.  


    We use a fun variety of music and performances to draw them in and provide great opportunities for them to express praise through music in worship in Christmas and Spring musicals.


    Through fun experiences, meaningful music and ministry that encourages kids to participate, we present Jesus Christ and His Church in a relevant way, creating moments which children will never forget.

  • Dr. Peasley recently conducted a 4-day Bible Conference covering the book of Ruth. The book of Ruth is the Narrative of a love story, yet also has some important Genealogy.  In this 4-part series, Dr. Peasley unpacks this remarkable book that contains many principles with profound impact to our lives today.  


    In addition, we had an opportunity to sit down with Dr. Peasley to learn more about him, his ministry and life abroad as The Evangelist.

Life is full of uncertainties.  One day things are going well and the next it seems the apple cart has been turned upside down. “When Darkness Closes In” is a fall spiritual growth series designed to encourage, build up and equip Christians to walk by faith and trust God in prayer through trying times. John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not understood it.” Inspired by the miraculous healing of Yvette Rindels from blindness, the Rindels will share what God has taught them through their trials.


You will learn how God is in control in all situations, how He is glorified through our hardships, how His grace is sufficient, how there is power in many people praying, the role of faith in miracles, and how believers should react when their prayers appear to not be answered.  There is a way to walk in victory when darkness closes in!
