“I had no idea how I was going to buy food this week… and then I saw your sign. Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for everything! I didn’t know how I was going to eat today. I’m really about to cry. I’ve never had to ask for help to eat, and it is humbling. I would love to help you guys in the near future as I begin to get my health back.”

Experience
We offer a more traditional style of worship, with services structured around praise, reflection, growth, and celebration. We honor God’s love through choral music and hymns, taking the time each week to learn and acknowledge God’s place in our lives.
Connect
Aside from our Sunday worship, we offer numerous opportunities for our members to connect with other Christians and grow in their relationship with God, including youth groups, children’s activities, book studies, and outreach programs.
Serve
We seek to live as Christ did, serving the less fortunate and acting as God’s hands and feet in our community. We have a long-running history of ministry and generosity and provide ways for members to give back to our community.
