A word of welcome from our pastor:

 

I am excited to be involved with this wonderful church.  And, we know that you will be excited, too, ... and, you will find a sense of fulfillment that only comes by investing yourself in God and in His community - the Christian Community.  The United Presbyterian Church may very well be the church God is calling you to be involved in.

 
You will discover in this place other people just like you ... people from all walks of life, from every occupation and every generation who have come together on a common spiritual journey.  We direct our attention and prayers to God as we celebrate what He has done and promises to do with us (Worship).  We take the time to find out what God has to say about the one life He has given us (Scripture).  And, because this community is important to us, we take the needs of our neighbors seriously (Service). 
 
We promise you a warm welcome when you come to worship or to one of our many groups and activities.  We want to know who you are.  Everyone who has come to our church is important to us and our fellowship is enriched by the many God has called here.
 
The Church is the one place where you can find what you really can't find anywhere else ... a true connection with God and with others that is solid and enduring through the many seasons of our lives ... And so, we offer our church to you and we reach out to you in the name of Jesus, the One we joyfully follow as the Lord of our lives.
 
Ross Slaughter, Pastor.

Yet we realize that any differences are insignificant. We have a common Lord, Jesus Christ and we can work together, united, supporting one another toward our common goals.  We are working to help people be all they can be in Jesus Christ.

Our praise band, under the direction of Ben Marquette, leads us in contemporary music during our 11:00 worship.experience.  We also have children's choirs and handbell choirs as well.
