THIS SUNDAY

Our mission is simple: to help as many as possible know, love and enjoy the living God and each other. To fulfill that mission (and the Great Commission), we partner with local ministries, church plants across the nation, and missionaries serving around the world. This Sunday is Missions Day. Be sure to stop by the Missions Fair in the Gathering Place before or after the worship service to meet some of them and learn how you can get involved--over 20 will be present!
