The
tightly-knit congregation is committed to increasing the membership of the
congregation. Members are loving and supportive of both each other and the
church. We are truly a family. Visitors are warmly welcomed and new members are
assimilated into the church family quickly. Members gravitate to Sunday
services and special Christian holiday worship services, especially Christmas
and Easter.
