life-giving
A place where God's Word transforms your life!
Our Vision & Mission
Vision: We want to see YOU experience the abundant, eternal LIFE Jesus promised.
Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life… and have it more abundantly." (John 10:10b). However, sin separates us from the life of God and wreaks havoc on our daily lives. On our own it is impossible to connect with God. But Jesus came to restore us to life with God. We believe that no one should suffer being separated from God. It breaks our heart that so many are living far from God and missing out on the amazing life He freely gives. Abundant Life is a life that overflows, not with more stuff, but with more of Jesus! It's a life where you know you are Loved by the Father, find your Identity in Jesus, are continually Filled with the Spirit and go out to Engage the World in love. That's why we are on a mission...

Our DNA
We Love God's Word
This is probably the most defining characteristic of our community. We love reading, studying and applying God's Word. We encourage everyone to read through the One Year Bible together. We always have great, inspiring, Biblical teaching in our Sunday gatherings.
We Love Each Other
We believe genuine love is the best indicator of good doctrine (1 Tim. 1:3-5). It doesn't matter how tight our theology is, if we aren't loving, it doesn't matter (1 Cor. 13:1-3). Home gatherings are where the love happens and we'd rather see people gather there than Sunday at church.
We Love Serving Our Community
Jesus told us that He came, "not to be served, but to serve." Jesus loved people in practical ways by getting into the nitty gritty of their lives and meeting their real needs. We want to be more like Jesus! So, we go out and serve our city in practical ways every chance we get.
We Love Sharing Jesus
We desperately want our loved ones to experience the love and forgiveness that Jesus has given us... but not in a pushy religious way. When Jesus walked this earth, there was nothing religious about Him. He was love personified. We want others to experience that Jesus!
We Love Eating Together
Seriously! We believe that where there is no food it's really hard to have good fellowship. There is something heavenly about breaking bread together. So every Sunday after service we offer a free lunch to all who come. This allows everyone, no matter what station of life, to linger and build loving relationships.
We Love Kids
Half our church is kids...literally! Jesus said the Kingdom of God belongs to kids and we believe it. That means we're not uptight about kids in the sanctuary or babies crying during the message (it's what they do). We love the sound of kids laughing and squealing with delight. We think heaven is probably going to sound a lot like that.
