HISTORY

The planning or organizing the church began in the fall of 1994.

Through the generosity of some local churches, and organ, piano and hymnals were provided.  The first service was held on February 5, 1995 in Union Hall.  A house and 35 acres near Penhook was then donated with renovation being done by members.  The first service in our new church house was held on Christmas Eve of 1995.  A cemetery, open to the public, was also estabished.  Our "House On The Hill" served as our worship center until October 15, 2000 when we moved to our present sanctuary.

Our members represent multiple denominations; all are welcome.

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he will come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Amen.
