YOU BELONG HERE! You belong to God’s family, which means you belong to the local church. Get plugged into our church life here and be part of the Barn family. When we start something new it can be a little uncertain at first. This is normal, but any awkwardness will soon wear off as you begin to understand what a new life in Christ really means.
“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.” 1 John 1:12-13
