If it’s your first Sunday

A small church, with room to grow

Most Sundays there are somewhere around 50 of us. Plenty of folks have been coming here for most of their lives, and they’ll want to know your name and who your people are.

The service is plain: congregational singing out of the hymnbook, prayer, and preaching from the Bible. Nobody will put you on the spot. If you have children, bring them along.

The most important thing on this page

How can I be saved?

The Bible answers it plainly, in five verses from the book of Romans.

  1. 01

    Every one of us has sinned.

    “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

    Romans 3:23

  2. 02

    Sin earns death. Eternal life is a gift.

    “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

    Romans 6:23

  3. 03

    Jesus died in your place.

    “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

    Romans 5:8

  4. 04

    Believe on Him and confess Him.

    “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

    Romans 10:9

  5. 05

    Whosoever means you.

    “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

    Romans 10:13

If you want to talk it over, call Pastor Eric at his number, or come by on Sunday and ask for him.

Supper, singing and the Gospel

This September the church put on a big Fish Fry and Gospel Sing for the whole community: fried fish, gospel singing, and a good evening together.
