Baptized Christian

We are a church committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Word of God. We exist to invite all people to experience true fulfillment in Jesus Christ, and we believe this happens best when it is focused on one home at a time. We believe the home was designed by God to be the primary place for discipleship, and view parents are the primary faith trainers for their children. As a church we, unashamedly, focus on family ministry and missions – in our backyards and around the world. We are uniquely positioned in one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the nation that is teeming with opportunities to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus.
