Sunday Morning
Wednesday Nights
Connect Groups are a great way to get to know others and dive into the Bible together. These groups provide a welcoming and supportive environment where you can explore your faith and find real answers through Scripture. It’s all about building genuine relationships and feeling connected through Christ.
Our worship service is a chance for us to come together and express our faith. Each Sunday, we gather to praise God through prayer, music, and teaching from the Bible. It’s not just something we do once a week; it’s an extension of our everyday lives and our commitment to living out our faith.
Kid's Church is designed to offer a meaningful experience for children. They begin the service with their parents and then join a special time of teaching that’s crafted just for them. Using the Gospel Project curriculum, we help kids learn about the Bible in a way that's engaging and age-appropriate.
Selma Kids: Our growing kids’ ministry offers fun and meaningful activities that help children learn and grow in their faith. It’s a great place for kids to connect with others and explore their relationship with the Lord.
Selma Student Ministry: Teens meet at 6:30 PM for a time of fellowship, inspiring teaching, and worship. It’s a chance for them to engage in their faith and build lasting friendships.
Adult Gathering: Each Wednesday at 6:30 PM, adults come together for prayer and fellowship. It’s a welcoming space where you can connect with others and support each other in prayer.
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.

What about my kids?
Our kids ministry welcomes children from birth through fifth grade, offering age-appropriate teaching, music, and fun activities that introduce them to a journey of following Christ. Led by dedicated staff and volunteers, our program ensures your child receives care and attention each week. Children start in the Sanctuary with you for worship and then join Kids Church before the teaching begins. We also use a check-in system to maintain a safe environment and streamline drop-off and pick-up.
How early should I arrive?
Our Connect groups start at 9:10am and the service starts at 10:30am.
When attending for the first time, plan on arriving at least 10 minutes before the service begins.
This will give you time to park and grab a cup of coffee before the service starts. You'll want to make sure you get into the sanctuary before the music begins.

We dress very casual around here. Some people wear a tie and others wear jeans. Feel free to come as you are and join along and worship freely.
