We are a new church plant that launched in October 2017. We have quickly grown from 70 people on average to 350. We offer two identical worship experiences on Sundays at 9:00 am and 11:00 am. We are General Baptist affiliated but have a more non-denominational vibe.

When you visit us on Sunday, we want you to feel comfortable just being you. We value your time and want to make the most of it by providing you and your family with a church experience that is welcoming, genuine and powerful. During our time together, we aim to help you experience worship that speaks to you, a message from God's Word that encourages and challenges your life, and community that inspires you. We want you to know that the problems you are facing, the baggage you are carrying - none of it is a surprise to us. You don’t have to hide, you don’t need to feel ashamed, you are in good company. YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.

Our lead pastor has been in ministry for over 16 years. Four years spent as a creative director, and six years spent as a youth pastor of 200 students. 6 years as lead pastor of Kairos.
