Welcome Visitors!
Many people are not sure what a Bible Church is. Simply put, it is a group of people who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as our only salvation from sin, and who join together to study His Word, and to honor Him with our songs, our service, our giving, and our fellowship. We focus on doing what the Bible tells us to do, because it is infallible and unfailing.
If you are looking for a church where the people are perfect, and no one ever makes a mistake, this is not the church for you. However, if you are looking for a new church home, where the people are not only moral, but kind and interested in others; where the Bible is deeply appreciated for who it helps us to become; where we attempt to serve Jesus Christ, our Savior,
as Lord; and where you would be welcomed, please give us consideration.
We are pleased you are here today, and pray God's best for you. Please let us know your questions.

Prophecy Conference
Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Th.M., Ph.D., is one of the foremost authorities on the nation of Israel. Together with his Jewish dry wit, he has become a popular Bible teacher. Based in San Antonio, Texas, he is the founder of Ariel Ministries, an organization dedicated to evangelism of Jewish people, and the discipleship of both Jews and Gentiles, from a messianic Jewish frame of reference.
The men are invited to meet at our church building at 3 pm on Sunday afternoon, September 12, to caravan together to Grace Point Church in Adrian, Michigan. The 2-hour class concludes at 6 pm, and we will then stop for food fellowship on our return trip. Please present your questions to Sam Plaza or Pastor Bill.
