WHY WE EXIST

We exist for three main reasons that feel very strongly about. We believe that focusing on these three things is what God calls for us to do. We trust in the Lord and follow his will. 

ENCOUNTER

We seek to encounter God through worship and Bible Study.  We offer times of family worship as well as age appropriate ministries at various times throughout the week to help you encounter God in ways that reveal Himself to you more everyday.

CONNECT

Connecting with others is key to growing in your relationship with Christ.  We all need people to laugh with, cry on their shoulder, help in times of need and just do life together.  Through our small group ministry, we hope that you can connect with others and experience true biblical fellowship with them.
