The Bible We Preach

We primarily preach from the New American Standard Bible (NASB 1995) because of its commitment to accurately translating the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Scriptures.

If you're familiar with the King James Version, you'll notice the NASB 1995 follows a similar word-for-word translation philosophy while using language that is generally easier for today's readers to understand. Our desire is to faithfully proclaim God's Word with both accuracy and clarity.

Yes. We have an unstaffed nursery available for parents who need a quiet space with their infants or young children during the service. Parents are welcome to use the nursery as needed while remaining with their children.

Children are welcome throughout our worship service, and families are encouraged to worship together. During Sunday School, our volunteers work to provide a caring, safe, and Christ-centered environment where children can learn about God's Word.
Absolutely! We encourage families to worship together, and children of all ages are welcome in our services. If your little one needs a break, you're welcome to use our unstaffed nursery and return to the service whenever you're ready.
