Our Mission is to build life-changing relationships with God, one another, and our community.
We believe that the church is the mission of God in the world; therefore, we work with local nonprofits and ministries to serve God and God’s people.
We have ongoing missions throughout the year. Please check our Upcoming Events to find the most up-to-date volunteer opportunities.
