To help people experience the grace of Jesus, the love of the
Father, and the fellowship of the Spirit (2 Corinthians 13.14)
OUR PLAN
The way in which we fulfill our purpose (above) is by creating environments for people to encounter the Triune God and to carry out what He calls them to do. We believe every person is created in the image of God, in need of reconciliation with God, made to live in loving community with others, and designed and gifted to carry out a mission in this world.. We are focused on building each other up and blessing the community by...
...creating intentional environments for spiritual growth and development
...spearheading compassionate outreaches for showing and sharing the love of Jesus to a needy world
...facilitating strategic partnerships with local and global ministries to fulfill God's kingdom work
...providing helpful resources for spiritual growth as well as resources for a healthy marriage and home life
