LOCAL IMPACT
Serving Our Community with Purpose
We believe faith is lived out through how we care for others.
We have chosen to do all we can to support organizations combatting homelessness. We frequently partner with HOPE 4 Youth and Stepping Stone to create a world where no one is homeless.
Our local impact efforts focus on supporting families, building relationships, and responding to real needs in our community.

Families are at the heart of our community. As a family church, we look for ways to care for children, youth, and parents beyond our own congregation.

These efforts invite the entire congregation, including children and teens, to participate in serving others.
