‍Welcome!

Wherever you’ve been, whatever your story looks like, you matter here.

We know visiting a church for the first time can feel like a big step. But we believe nobody should have to do life alone. Here, you’ll find a group of ordinary people walking through life together, encouraging one another, and growing in faith.

Whether you’re carrying questions, burdens, doubts, or hopes for a fresh start, you’ll be welcomed by people who genuinely care.

Our Sunday gatherings last about 90 minutes and include heartfelt worship, biblically grounded teaching, and time to connect with others.

Come as you are - we’d be honored to meet you.

Here’s Where It’s Going Down.

What’s Gonna Happen?

When You Arrive

When you walk in, you’ll be greeted by friendly people who are there to help - not to pressure you. There’s no expectation to do anything other than come in, get comfortable, and experience the service.

Sunday Service Overview

Here’s what a typical Sunday looks like:

  • Worship - Heartfelt pursuit of God, led by a passionate team with contemporary worship music (~30 minutes)

  • Welcome & Announcements - A brief time to get oriented and hear what’s happening in the church

  • Message - Practical, grounded teaching from God’s Word (~45 minutes)

  • Fellowship and Connection - Stay and hang out awhile with us

Total time: about 90 minutes

Heads up! On the first Sunday of every month, we do things a little differently. Same order of events, but during the service, while the message is being shared, we share a family style brunch together too.

People serving and receiving food at a buffet-style setup in an indoor space with a kitchen in the background.
People sitting around a table at an event, eating food, with balloons and a patriotic poster on the wall.
People gathered around a table at a party or celebration, with some posing and smiling for the camera. There are plates of food, drinks, and balloons in the background.
A group of people sitting at round tables in a banquet room, listening to a man speaking with a microphone. The tables have plates of food, cups, and bottles, and in the background, there is a small stage with musical instruments and a bar area.

Questions?

  • Yes. Our Sunday services are streamed online on our facebook page. Check us out here.

  • Not at all. Everyone is welcome.

  • Come as you are - there is no dress code. Most people dress casually.

  • We love kids, and we’re committed to providing a safe, welcoming environment for them. As of now, we don’t have dedicated children’s classes. But we believe in creating space for your children to worship alongside you and presenting God in a way that makes sense for them.

  • That’s completely okay. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We’re here to help you discover and grow at your own pace.

  • That’s totally up to you. You can fill out a visitor form here, so that we can follow up with you. You can pop back in another time, or you can hang back and meet the Pastor. We’re ready when you are.
