VOLUME 44 . ISSUE 12 . DEC 2019
Have you ever been in a place where you were longing for home? Maybe you’ve found yourself longing for something… something that’s been elusive. It’s like a mystery you aren’t quite able to grasp, but it’s something you desperately need. Could it be that this thing you're longing for is exactly what God has for you? Love. Joy. Peace. A true sense of belonging. A family. A future. We’ve been waiting for hope, and He’s been right here all along. This Christmas, maybe it’s time to come home.
Join us for worship every Sunday at 9 am or 10:45 am
Full programming is available for kids from birth - 5th grade

Every Moment Matters with kids. And just one caring and loving adult can change a child's life. As a church we have the potential to influence the next generation for Christ, but it take a tribe of people.

SUPERSTART! is a high-energy weekend event in which 4th & 5th graders can learn and grow in their relationships with friends, leaders and most importantly, God. And this year's SuperStart! tour is about finding hope through God's promises in those moments where it feels like the cards are stacked against us. Preteens will learn that when they trust God and hold tightly to His promises, they’ll discover the hope that can carry them through any circumstance and into the abundant life of a Kingdom worker. Knowing that changes everything. It’s a Game Changer.
