This church is going to pick a location that is centrally located in the middle of town. As a church plant, we know that location is key and believe that being in the middle of town is going to maximize the ministry of the church. The location of the church is vital to the people who you are trying to reach. A successful church plant must be located within the community that is being served.

Churches are an important part of the community. They join together for the purpose of spreading the word of the gospel and to help serve the community in times of need.
