We are a smaller but spiritually growing church body who loves the Lord, the Word, and each other. We desire to honor God and worship in accordance with His commands. We need a pastor who will come alongside the church and continue teaching, feeding, and equipping the body for holy living and to carry out Christ’s command to go out and make disciples. Our town is a rural oilfield town of about 18,000 people - largely an unchurched/unreached, “bible-belt” community.
