We are biblically focused and obedient to Jesus’ call in the Gospel of Matthew 28:19-20, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” We are making disciples who make disciples.
We welcome everyone, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey, to join us as we seek to grow closer to Christ, to receive his grace for our lives, and to live and love like Jesus.
