We encourage and welcome our members, friends, and guests to join us for worship. Church is a gathering of people in the same place who praise and worship the God who saves sinners. Church is not a place where "perfect" people go - there are none! Rather, church is a gathering of imperfect people desperately in need of God's forgiveness, mercy, and grace.
