ABOUT US
A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR
FIRST OF ALL, THANKS FOR CHECKING US OUT! WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING AND WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.
As a community of disciples, we are all on the journey of discovering and learning. As we make our way down that road, we do it together. None of us are perfect, none of us have it all together, none of us have all the answers, but we learn and grow, laugh, and serve together. We care for each other and we seek to bring God's love into a broken world, both nearby and far away.
It's been an incredible journey so far. We don't know what's next, but we'd love to have you along for whatever God has in store for us!
