The Church & Mission
The church is not a building or a weekend event, but a people who embodied what it means to live in light of who Jesus is and what Jesus has done for us.
And our main mission as a church is to make disciples by going, baptizing, and teaching others to do the same. We do this in the everyday rhythms of life where we work, rest, and play.
Outside of this we intentionally gather together each weekend as family celebrating, worshiping, and sitting under the authority of Scripture during our Sunday Gatherings.

When We Gather
Sundays + Wednesdays
SUNDAY GATHERINGS
>> 10am Sunday School // 11am Worship
Sunday gatherings are the primary way we gather as a church and are a central part of who we are as a community following Jesus.
Through the different elements of a Sunday gathering, such as prayer, expressing adoration for God through music, preaching and teaching the Bible, remembering Christ through communion, and making space to hear from the Holy Spirit, our aim to is make much of Jesus and let him transform us.
WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY & PRAYER GATHERING
>> 6pm Fellowship Hall
We gather on Wednesday to study God's Word and pray it! We begin by singing a few hymns or spiritual songs together and then make our way to a portion of scripture that is expounding upon. Afterwards take a few minutes to pray over what was taught along with praying for the needs of our body and community.
It has been said "When we work we work. When we pray God works." We believe that God has given us the gift of prayer. Prayer is communion with Him that leads to the advancement of His kingdom. Referring to the temple and quoting an OT prophet, Jesus quotes the Father in Matthew 21 when he says, "My House shall be called a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves." We believe that each believer and local body is now the house of prayer. And so we desire for God to make himself known as we seek him.
