"Connecting People to Christ and Community"
FIND A GROUP FOR YOU
Our mission statement is "Connecting People to Christ and Community." We find a great way to live into this is through involvement in a small group. We are thankful that God has created us with beautiful diversity, and our small groups are intended to meet you in your spiritual style.
