    There is a place into which believers of old never dared tread...where only the High Priest went once each year, and then, with much fear and trembling. It is now the place that God calls all believers to; willing that we should come, not in fear, but boldly, for access has been provided to us ...read more

    Two followers of Jesus had an encounter on their walk home that changed their lives and opened their eyes.

    Our Church members have had a lot of interest in the Walk to Emmaus lately, and for a good reason. I have never known anyone who went on a Walk that wasn’t tremendously blessed. If you are not saved when you go on the Walk, there is a very good chance you will be saved before you come home. ...read more
