Sermons

Pastor Ken usually goes through a book of the Bible as he is teaching from the pulpit, but does occasionally go through topical series as well. We hope that the Lord will use these sermons to help you in your walk with Him, and help you in glorifying God with all your heart. If you have any questions about a sermon, or would like to talk with someone about what God may be doing in your life, please email, call, or write using the information from the Contact Page.
