Sermons

We believe that the Bible is essential for spiritual growth. On Sunday morning you will hear a Christ-centered message from Pastor Jerry or from one of our pastoral staff. Whether we're working our way through a book of the Bible, or we're touching on an important Scriptural topic, you can expect to be challenged and encouraged by God's Word.
