May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughter like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace. 
Psalm 144:12

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

OUR PURPOSE

To be an overflowing source of the life transforming love of Jesus Christ!  To grow spiritually in our relationship with God and be an active part of the body of Christ while reaching out to our community and being a light to reach others for Christ.

OUR MISSION

To effectively grow as an active part of the body of Christ both within our local church and our community through events, small groups, Bible studies, and outreach.

WE BELIEVE

Jesus is God, Lord, and Savior.  His life, death, and resurrection are sufficient to provide forgiveness as well as new and eternal life to all of us who believe and call on Him.
