Welcome, YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN US!

The Mission Statement of The Better Together Churches is,

“To Make Disciples of Jesus Christ For the Transformation of The World.”

The churches that are involved in the Better Together Church program recognize that by working together in ministry they can accomplish our mission statement more efficiently, with greater local and global reach, and we affect the lives of more people when all of our churches work together.

Come and worship with us!

Holy Scripture Reading

Revelation 3:19-22

19 I reprove and discipline those whom I love. Be earnest, therefore, and repent. 20 Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come into you and eat with you, and you with me. 21 To the one who conquers I will give a place with me on my throne, just as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’

L: This is the word of God for the People of God.
P: Thanks be to God

Visit our Give page to learn more about online offerings.

We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay or just not sure, filthy rich, dirt poor, and even those that “no habla ingles.” We offer a special welcome to those who are crying newborns, skinny as a rail or those that could afford to lose a few pounds. We don’t care if you’re more churchy than the Pope, or haven’t been in church since little Joey’s Baptism.

We welcome you if you are over 60 but not grown up yet, or a teenager who is growing up too fast. We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, and junk-food connoisseurs. We welcome those that are in recovery and those that may be still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems, or if you’re down in the dumps. We even offer welcome to those that don’t like organized religion, we’ve been there too!

Even if you blew all your offering money at the dog track, you’re still welcome here. We offer a special welcome to those that think the earth is flat and Elvis is alive and living in Buffalo, those that work too hard, don’t work at all, can’t spell, or just because Grandma is in town and needs a place to go to church.

We welcome those who are inked, pierced, or both. We welcome those that could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down their throat as a kid, and even those that got lost in traffic this morning and found themselves here by accident! We welcome tourists, guests, seekers, doubters, bleeding hearts…. and you!

We welcome you because if you are good enough for God (and you are!), then you are good enough for us!

You are always welcome at any location!
