Our congregation first met on December 3, 1978, chartered with 37 families January 21, 1979, and broke ground for the original building in 1981. The first addition was completed in 1988, and on April 9, 1995, we broke ground for our second addition, which was completed in June, 1996, to support the growing membership and programs necessary for its spiritual growth and Christian fellowship. At the end of 2005, our confirmed membership totaled more than 1,200 people.

What is a Presbyterian?
Our name comes from the Greek word meaning "elder", reflecting the form of government in which the congregation chooses its own leaders. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) enjoys denominational strength and congregational interconnection, while delegating freedom and flexibility to the local church and its members.
