What can I expect on my first visit?
Heading toward the coast of Southport it's hard to miss our Church on the intersection of 133/River Rd. and Dosher Cutoff. As you enter the sanctuary, one of our hospitality greeters will meet and help assist you. They can also answer any questions you may have.
When in our worship services you will enjoy the beautiful and inspiring music of the choir, solo's, duet's and other arrangements. The music is always followed by a clear, helpful, and challenging Bible message from Pastor Cox.
