We are a multi-cultural family of believers. The majority of our congregation is young couples with young children which tends ot make our services energetic and our Christian Education classes lively.

 

WHY WE EXIST AS A CHURCH

•To convince the unchurched that Jesus Christ is alive and that His existence still matters today, and that He is the difference between spending eternity in Heaven or in Hell. 

•To make disciples who will continue to spread the good news that there is a purpose for our existence.

•To encourage and support one another to achieve our ultimate goal of making Heaven not only our home, but the home our families and friends
•To support our missionaries in other countries as they are the hands of Jesus in the lands that the Holy Spirit has called them.
