WHO ARE WE?
Jesus is on mission to reveal the love of God, restoring all people to wholeness
through relationship with Him.
In partnership with Jesus, being dependent on the Holy Spirit, we cultivate community
so that we can grow, experience God, teach, and equip all generations for Jesus’
mission.
PURPOSE
We gather together, as a community around the Word of God, and invite others in.

The local church enters into relationships with other like-minded churches for accountability, encouragement, and mission.
