We are a Spirit-empowered, Bible-centered church serving the Huron, S.D. area with the good news that Jesus saves and forgives sinners eternally! We believe that the church exists to glorify God, proclaim the gospel to all who will hear, and encourage and build up the saints to do the work of the ministry. Our goal is to be God-honoring in everything that we do together. In and through Christ and His work, we are a church family partnering in the proclamation of Christ. Our identity is expressed through our shared confession that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. Our Sunday morning gathering of the whole body is centered around the Word of God as we sing, pray, give, serve, partake in the Lord’s Supper, baptize new disciples of Jesus Christ, and hear from God through the reading and the expository preaching of the Scriptures. We believe that Christ grows us together by His Spirit as a congregation of believers through the careful study and application of God’s Word, the Bible
