About Us
“What is happiness? Where should I walk toward? I want the right answer for life.” This was a post by a 21-year-old college student published in a newspaper. When you go to a bookstore, it’s filled with books offering advice on how to live and habits for success. More and more, people are struggling to find the correct answers.
The Bible is the answer. It took me a long time and many experiences to confidently say this, but now, I can declare it clearly: the Bible is a guidebook that leads people to true happiness.
The church is a place where the teachings of the Bible are shared correctly. Worship is a time to sincerely listen to the Word of God. The Creator delights in this more than anything else. This place is open to everyone, offering the true answer to happiness. Don’t miss the chance to experience it for yourself. We warmly welcome you.
