History:

We do not exist for a denomination; we do, however, believe that being connected to a larger structure of churches is good for us and for the other churches we connect with. Though being part of a denomination brings more layers of church government, we believe that being officially connected to the larger church is healthy, biblical and in our best interest.

Human beings have a tendency to view ourselves as individuals, as the highest perspective of life. We are convinced that the church is designed by Christ in opposition to this human perspective. Christ institutes the church because He knows that without the structure of other believers, we will live self-centered lives, we will see ourselves as the final judge of our lives and we will end up in a dangerous place.

Therefore, we are not connected to The Wesleyan Church because we must but because we desire to do so. We need the accountability, encouragement, support, and the larger view of the kingdom that the denomination offers us. We also believe that our involvement with other Wesleyan churches enables us to be in a unique position to be a source of accountability, encouragement and support to our sister churches.

We also believe that though we do not worship the past, we are wise to remember the past and to maintain our connections to it. As God tells the Israelites to remember their past so that they would see again and again what He had done, so God calls us to remember as well. With this in mind, we present a brief history of our congregation.
