Meet!   Experience!    Live!

Three words capture the heart of our vision for ministry! We aim to be a community where you will... Meet Jesus!   Experience the support of a Church!     Live as Disciples! We have found that people everywhere are looking for relationships that are warm, accepting, full of life and embracing the sacred...    -- Meeting Jesus! We see the need for community and belonging...    -- Experiencing Church! We believe that when people "Meet Jesus" and "Experience Church" lives are transformed to bless society, to bring hope and healing to our neighborhoods and empowered to serve God with purpose and mission...    -- Living as Disciples! We invite you to get to know us through this site, but more importantly through personal contact. We are committed to Meet... Experience... and Live together with Jesus in  Christian Community.
