We are a church that values service and we want to dedicate time during this busy season to serve together as a family.

Join us on Sunday, December 11 for our Advent Serve Day! On this day, we will hold one blended worship service at 10am followed by several opportunities for relational service in our community. Our hope is to spread God’s love, lend a helping hand, and build relationships both in and out of the church!
