We are growing as Christ’s disciples and invite others to grow with us.
Small groups are central to who we are, offering opportunities for members and non-members to grow spiritually, sharing their faith and life experiences, growing in the knowledge of God’s word, listening for God’s leading and encouraging one another.
We place emphasis on meaningful membership and leadership development, helping each person discover and develop their unique gifts and talents for working with others to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
WE GROW
Radical Hospitality • Passionate Worship
Intentional Faith Development • Risk Taking Mission
Extravagant Generosity
As individuals and as a church, we listen to God’s leading and direction. We seek a balance between study and action. We believe that prayer is the foundation of all ministry, mission and outreach.
We are inspired to build connections throughout the Southtowns in order to discover and address the needs of our community.
We encourage and support individual members of the congregation who are being called to ministry and advocacy within and beyond our local community.
With God’s help, a spirit of love and acceptance will flow through all that we are and all that we do as we gather, grow and serve with open hearts and open minds.
