WHAT WE BELIEVE
““Oh sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth! Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.””
Our mission is to glorify God through discipleship, evangelism and worship. We believe in the power of gospel of Jesus Christ and seek to share the gospel and make disciples in our community and around the world. We believe this is the way in which Jesus Christ is most honored.

MINISTRIES
The goal of adult ministry in our church is to promote adults to grow into mature believers that worship in spirit and in truth, are involved in healthy discipleship relationships, and are sharing the gospel with others.
The Jurne is our student ministry and it exists to help students grow in their faith and knowledge of the Word of God. Sunday school and Wednesday night services allow students to gather and study God's Word and foster relationships with other students.
Our children's ministry exists to point children to know Jesus Christ through prayer, worship, and the study of God's Word. We have classes for pre-k through 6th grade, as well as a nursery available during all service times.

GIVE
SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE CHURCH
The Cheerful Giver
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
