Worship Service

One of the most essential parts of our walk with Christ is the time we spend worshipping the God we serve. It is important that we come together to be taught the word of God, to receive the word of God, and to exalt God. We must not forsake the assembling of the saints as stated in Hebrews 10:25. Please join us each week for our services on Sundays and Wednesdays. To attend the adult ministry services please select the "Goodwill Church Ministry"  tab and to attend or send your children to our youth ministry service select the "Heritage House" tab for service times.
