Love one another as I have loved you.

As a community church, we seek to help meet the needs of our neighbors by partnering with local nonprofits to help those who are hungry, facing homelessness, or in need of a friend. We are supporters of the groups illustrated below and also partner with local healthcare facilities and nursing homes to uplift residents, patients and healthcare workers. We truly seek to be the hands of feet of Jesus Christ to our community!
