Church is so much more than a building or place to worship on the weekend. God's Church is about connecting relationally with Jesus and then with others, growing in our faith, and building a strong foundation for your family.
Vision
It's all about Jesus. We lift Him up in all we do. He is the center.
Transformation
We desire to grow in our faith and love and be the image of Christ. Simply put, we want to look more like Jesus.
Family
The Church is the family of God. And we are contributors, not consumers. Everyone helps the body grow.
Children
We are teaching the faith to the next generation. Children should have fun and learn to walk with Jesus.
Outreach
The Gospel is not confined to the four walls. We pray for the broken, heal the sick and reach the lost through love.
Lifestyle
We don’t maintain, we multiply. Our life will be the only Gospel people may read.
Discover the family ministry of our Church. We are focused on helping kids build their faith by using Bible stories, songs, and group activities designed for kids 6 weeks old through 4th grade. We also have ministry 5th to 8th grade on Sundays.
Middle school and high school students participate in everything adults do. Youth also attend their own special event on Wednesday at 7pm at the Main Campus to help them grow their faith, character, and relationships.
We’ve partnered with more than 25 nonprofit organizations and dedicate 12% of every dollar given to support local, and global causes. There are opportunities to volunteer to support one of our partners every week of the year.
