Growing in Faith
STUDYING GOD’S WORD SHOWS CHRISTIANS HOW TO BE OBEDIENT TO GOD AS YOU READ IT, REMEMBER IT, AND RELATE IT TO LIFE.
Take time to Pray Daily
Spending time in prayer will provide for your needs, produce a change in your perspective, and preserve and protect you through every situation.
Experience the Joy of Worship
We experience the joy of worship when we prepare our hearts to encounter God, praise God for who He is, and present ourselves for His service.
Participate with other Christians
Fellowship with other Christians is important because it provides believers encouragement, exhortation, and empowerment to live the Christian life.
Share your Faith with Others
When we share our faith with others, God’s love is spread, lives are changed, and the lost saved.
We are affiliated with The Southern Baptist Convention, the Baptist State Convention of Michigan, and the Genessee Baptist Association.
We will cooperate with and minister along side all Bible believing Christians.
