 People Matter

We don’t believe in labels, we believe in people. We are life-change junkies and nothing gets us more excited than seeing lives transformed through God’s work. Everyone has a story and we’d love to hear yours.

God Gets the Credit

Simply, this is God’s church; we’re just glad we get to be a part of it!

Grace & Truth

No “perfect” people allowed. Everyone makes mistakes and if you do it right, you’ll learn from them. Here, we challenge each other to be the best version of ourselves that we can be.

Authentic

Life can be hard; sometimes it is tough to know where to turn. Here you’ll find a community that is willing to support you in facing down life’s toughest challenges. We’re just imperfect people searching for answers in the lessons Jesus taught.

Fun

We don’t take ourselves too seriously. Life should be celebrated because God is good. Don’t be surprised to see our parking lots full of people playing games or celebrating from time to time, and, you are officially invited to join us.

Unity

We believe God’s heart is equally devoted to reaching those far from Him and to spiritually forming His children into mature disciples of His Son, and therefore strive to model our ministry in the same way.We strive for unity among Christ followers and choose not to let ourselves be divided by man-made traditions and “rules”. We believe all people are created in God’s image, regardless of race or “color”.

We see our ministry and our lives as “the Body of Christ,” an extension of Jesus’ ministry, empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill God’s Kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven.”

We believe our mission is to “make disciples – more and better disciples” which is expressed by calling people to personally respond in faith to Jesus as savior and Lord, and continuing to follow him in community as we Love God, Love People, and Serve the World.

We accept the Bible alone as our guide for faith and practice as it is the Word of God written, revealing God’s intentions and will.

We are a non-denominational free church under Christ. Overseen by Elders and led and administered by Staff, we determine policies and practices allowing us to be as effective as possible, voluntarily cooperating with other Christ followers in fulfilling our Lord’s Great Commission.

We are devoted to the cause of Christian unity, and express this in part by working with other churches and Christians as led by the Spirit and in accordance with the Scriptures for the sake of Christ’s work.

Our community welcomes everyone on the basis that “God loves you just as you are, but too much to leave you that way.” We require for church membership just what was required in New Testament times. We practice the baptism that was taught and practiced in the Scriptures -- immersion of a penitent believer as a symbol of Christ’s own death, burial and resurrection.

We share in the communion of the Lord’s Supper every week, as was the custom of the early church.
