Welcome To Our Services

Join us for a transformative worship service led by Clinton Thompson, exploring the theme of prejudice in light of Christian faith. We will engage in uplifting songs, including Hymn #212 and #12, along with opening prayer by Billy Long. The message focuses on James 2:1-13, emphasizing that God does not show favoritism based on outward appearances. Discover how partiality and prejudice impact our relationships and faith, and learn the importance of character over status. Let us worship together and grow in love and understanding.
