We invite you to join us for our Sunday services and be part of this enriching journey!

A typical service will last about 70 minutes. We sing a good mix of contemporary and traditional music that is led by our worship team. There is childcare available and activities for all age groups. Plan to hang around after the service for fellowship and meeting new people.
A Little More In Depth...
Our beliefs are grounded in the Bible, which we hold as uniquely inspired by God, free from error, and the final authority on all matters it addresses. The Bible teaches that there is one God who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each fully embodying the attributes of deity.
We believe that God created us to enjoy a close relationship with Him, but humanity chose to go their own way, leading to a separation from God. Because of this, we need God's grace to restore our relationship with Him. Salvation is a gift from God that we cannot earn through our own efforts; it must be accepted personally through repentance and faith.
We believe that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and willingly took our place by dying on the cross to pay for our sins. Through His sacrifice, salvation is offered to all who trust in Him alone. He rose from the dead, serving as the only mediator between us and God, and He will return to complete His work and fulfill history.

Our Goals
At Selma, we are committed to the mission of making disciples of all nations, as commanded by God.
