Mission

“We are a community of Christ-centered disciples who Love God, Love Others, and Make Disciples of Jesus Christ.”

Vision 2023

"We are a family of Jesus seeking believers home to 50 members who are actively participating in discipleship and functioning within our designated pathway. We are a safe place for the hurting and suffering to receive hope and care. Currently, we are entering into our third generation of disciple making. By the grace of God, we have celebrated 10 baptisms this year. We are engaged in mission and ministries that allow us to reach our neighborhoods and the nations."
