Our Core Values
We Love God
This is a Church that is madly in love with our heavenly Father. 1 John 4:19 says, “We love him because he first loved us.” God has shown us time and time again some incredible love, so we can’t help but to love him.
We Love People

We Serve God
We have been called to a higher purpose, by serving and trusting in his ultimate plan we can live life to its fullest. Proverbs 3:5-6
We Serve People
God has called us to love one another. This is a church that cares about our community. Our goal is to continually show the love of Christ in this community, and to the world. John 13:34-35
