Come See Us!
We offer three, in-person, identical yet dynamic worship services each Sunday at 8:00am, 9:45am and 11:30am.
As you pull in, our parking lot team will help you find a parking space. Once you’re inside, our greeters will assist you with directions, answering any questions you may have. If you have children, you will want to take advantage of our exciting children’s ministry. Someone will quickly get your children checked in and show you to their rooms. While your children are having a blast in their classes, you can grab a cup of coffee and head to the Worship Center where an usher will help you find a seat.

What People Are Saying
“I was looking for a place where the pastor knew my name and cared about me . I was welcomed with a hug my first day. ...The pastors reach out weekly. Text or Email and even phone calls. That says how much they love you. I love my pastors and church family. I have grown by serving and interacting. There is no place I’d rather be.”
“Spirit-led. Bible-based. Culturally relevant. All are welcome. Leave your judges robes at home, and come as you are. Casual worship atmosphere. You can feel this church is alive!”
“This church is exactly what you are looking for if you’re trying to find the hands and feet of Jesus! We moved down here in July of 2020 during Covid and we absolutely love the people, Pastor, and doctrine which is so important! We originally picked this church while we were in NY while listening to all the sermons in the area, and when we heard this church talk about the believer’s authority, we were so thankful! Great people, great Pastors and leaders, and great teaching with awesome worship!”
