Our Savior's
Growing In Grace To Glory
When a church celebrates over 70 years of existence, it is amazing the number of hours people are willing to put in to make a church grow. Our Savior's is no exception. When you review the history of our church, many volunteer hours were donated to get us to where we are now. People working together to further God's kingdom. This is what makes a church, a church.
Yet, as every building is aware, without a solid foundation, the building cannot stand. Our church has flourished because it is built upon the Only Foundation that will never fail, Christ Himself. It is through His power that our church has been successful. It is to his glory that we exist. It is to Him that our success must be credited.
Here are some history highlights of Our Savior's. We had a humble beginning...
