Welcome! If you are looking for a church home, we offer a warm invitation to consider joining our church family. We strive to meet the individual needs of people and offer the opportunity to become actively involved in the life of the church. Membership is open to all people who wish to share in the worship of God and strive to live like Jesus taught us to live, loving God and our neighbor.

A Little About Our Worship: Worship at Concord is contemporary in styling and ever changing to meet the needs of the community we serve. That doesn not mean we change the message or leave behind our rich heritage. We teach from the Bible, using Jesus as our prime example of love-based living. We offer different forms of prayer, music, praise, and thanksgiving in each of our worship gatherings. We join in the Sacrament of Holy Communion at least once a month and encourage attendees to make a commitment to God by being Baptized by the Spirit and Water. We Baptize by sprinkling or pouring onsite, or immersion in a local body of water. We believe worshipping God is an integral element in our daily walk to become all that God intends us to become. We are excited about you joining us on this journey!!!

Dear Friends,

We are excited to invite you on “A Journey to Hope” this Lenten Season. It is a time to slow down, do with less, and focus your mind, body, and spirit in the direction of the cross. This year we would like to invite you to a journey that begins on Ash Wednesday and meanders its way through Sunday after Sunday, culminating on Holy Week from Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday. So start packing your bags and jump in the car. We have quite the journey to take as followers of the resurrected Jesus! Rather than giving up something this Lent, how about committing to attend worship each and every week as we take this journey together? You’ll be glad you did, as hope is found just over the horizon!
