A place to belong.
A faith to live out.
We exist to connect people with Jesus, grow a family of faith, and bring practical hope to our neighbors and beyond.
We are preparing a church where heartfelt worship, Scripture, friendship, and service shape life together. There is room for joyful praise and quiet reflection, for questions and for growth.
God’s Word
We learn from the Bible and put its truth into practice in our homes, work, and relationships.
Our neighbors
We carry the love of Jesus beyond our gatherings through generosity and practical care.
Our community plans
Four seasons of gathering.
Our vision includes four major community celebrations each year, plus care that continues between them.
Egg Hunt & Easter Sunrise
A big family egg hunt and an Easter sunrise service celebrating the hope of the resurrection.
Summer Bash & VBS
Summer fun for the neighborhood and a Vacation Bible School for kids to learn and grow.
Fall Festival
Games, food, music, and a welcoming celebration for families and friends.
Festival of Lights
Lights, a community car parade, and a special Christmas service centered on Jesus.
These are plans for the future. Dates, locations, and registration will be shared when confirmed.
Year-round care
A food pantry for our community.
Food on the table. Dignity at the door. A neighbor who knows you matter.
Our commitment
We plan to build a reliable food pantry with local partners and volunteers. Our goal is to offer groceries and practical support with warmth and respect. Details will be shared as the ministry takes shape.
Our beliefs
Jesus is at the center.
Our faith is grounded in Scripture and shaped by the good news of Jesus. Four convictions are especially close to the heart of our Pentecostal faith:
