Worship + Connect + Serve
We believe church is more than a one-hour worship gathering—we’re God’s family. As a family, we worship together on Sundays, but we also connect in deep community, and use our unique gifts to serve one another and our community. Find your place to connect and serve 👇

Wednesday Night Prayer
Our Wednesday night prayer gathering began with a group praying for family, friends, and co-workers who were far from God—our “longshots.” We’ve now seen many of these longshots find Jesus, broken bodies healed, and relationships restored. There’s power in prayer!
Join us Wednesday nights, 6:30–7:30 p.m., at the parsonage (on top of the hill) as we continue to pray for these longshots and other needs.

Our Women’s Ministry provides a place for women of all ages and life-stages to find community with other women, support for the unique challenges women face, and growth in their walk with Jesus.
