"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" - 2 Cor 5:21
Anita and I are passionate about seeing you get connected with the Creator of the Universe - God wants you to know Him. The Bible teaches us that He has a plan for each one of us, and we believe it is in knowing Him that His plan can be outworked. We desire to see you become all your Creator intended - a person who reaches their full potential. To live a life that's full and alive, a life that is bigger than self, a life that overflows and touches a hurting humanity.
For us, our church's mission statement "Impacting our world for Christ through an effective local church" is more than just a statement, it is our life's pursuit. Come join us on the journey.
