Imagine the impact...of hundreds of people of all ages and abilities going out to serve those in need with compassion in Jesus' name! As part of our CONNECTED message series this past weekend Pastor Marc reflected on the amazing ways the Lord is moving among us along with the fact, it's definitely time to step out to serve as a community!


We were made for this!


Mark your calendar for...The Church Has Left The Building Serve Event on Saturday, Nov. 6! We will go out together into our community to be the Church by serving with the love of Jesus! No matter your age or abilities, with over 15 different serving sites/projects, there truly is something for everyone! Most serve projects will begin at 9:00AM and conclude no later than 12:00PM.
