🌿 Looking for a church where you can just come as you are? 🌿

Come visit us! We’re a very chill, welcoming, come-as-you-are kind of church where you don’t have to have it all together, know all the right words, or fit a certain mold.

❤️ ALL people are welcome. ALL people are loved. ❤️

Whether you’ve been in church your whole life, haven’t been in years, or aren’t sure what you believe—we’d love to meet you. No judgment. No pressure. Just good people, a welcoming community, and a place where you can be yourself.

P.S. The pastor doesn't wear shoes!! 😃😂

Come hang out with us this Sunday! We saved you a seat. 😊

We’d love to see you here! ♥️

Another successful Food Bank season! ❤️

Today marks the end of another wonderful Food Bank season, and our hearts are full of gratitude. We give thanks to this incredible team of volunteers who faithfully showed up month after month to serve our neighbors with kindness, compassion, and the love of Christ.

Because of your servant hearts, countless families in our community received not only food, but also encouragement and hope. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus.

We are so blessed by each of you and look forward to serving together again next season!

What an incredible evening celebrating Jesus together! We are so thankful for every family that came out and didn’t let a little rain stop the fun. From swimming and games to laughter, music, hot dogs, and fellowship, it was an evening full of smiles, joy, and wonderful memories.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us and to all of our amazing volunteers who made this event possible. Your support and servant hearts made this such a special evening.
