We are incapable of taking on the forces of evil without the support of the big "C" church. The Church is a force for the Kingdom of God. We exist to take on the forces of evil, and we aren't supposed to do that alone.  Read More

As Christians, we're called to live with an eternal perspective, focusing on the things that truly matter. We're called to be salt and light, preserving truth and illuminating the darkness.  Read More

Many would see following Christ as the easiest part of being a disciple, but it may be the hardest, and it is definitely the most pivotal.  Read More

Our service has an end goal. We are to make disciples. Our service has one source. That is Christ Jesus. Our service comes from one place, worship.
