Come As You Are.

Find Your Church Family.

Join us Sundays 10:30 AM
300 Futch Creek Rd

We believe church is more than a place you attend—

it’s a family you belong to.

From the moment you walk in, you’ll be welcomed, cared for, and invited to be part of God’s bigger plan for our lives.

Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you’re just starting out, there’s a place for you here at anchor.

Romans 12:4-5 NIV 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

We Can’t Wait to Meet You!
