About Us

As Ambassadors for Christ we proclaim the Gospel by reaching out to the community through sharing, giving hope and welcoming others into the family of God.


Our church, sitting on four and a half acres, replaced Park View United Methodist Church which burned during an electrical storm on June 1, 1998.  The two story building has a 240-seating capacity, a nursery, offices, classrooms, and a large family area named “Disciple Hall” which is equipped with a full kitchen.
