We are a group of followers of Jesus Christ that exist to Love God, Serve People, and Share Jesus with the community around us. We value our relationships with each other and cherish the opportunity to grow closer to God. The Bible and the Holy Spirit's leading in our lives helps us extend love and grace to those without hope.
OUR MISSION / PURPOSE
Our mission / purpose statement is Love God, Serve People, and Share Jesus. This statement reflects who we are and want to be. We strive to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to reach the lost and the broken. We want to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our community changed. This is reflected in our vision statement "Transforming our world through the love of Jesus."

Our core values include Loving unconditionally, Finding hope, Growing in grace, Serving joyfully, Living generously, Sharing Jesus, and Embracing the truth. These values guide our church in both our philosophy and decision making.
