Welcome Home

Mind. Body. Spirit.

Our desire is for you and everyone in your family to connect, find purpose, and grow in your relationship with God and others. We offer two weekend worship services, both include engaging music and Bible-based teaching with life application. There are opportunities throughout the week for you to grow in the community and partner with others to make a difference.

Whether it’s your first time attending church or you’ve attended church for years… you are welcome here!
