A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
FIRST, WE WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR CHECKING US OUT. WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING AT OUR CHURCH AND WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.
We believe that God is really amazing and that there is nothing better than learning to walk through life with and for Him. He is there for us on our best days and He doesn't leave us when it feels like everything is falling apart. He encourages us and challenges us and gives us a purpose in life that is worth giving everything we have for. There is nothing quite like learning more about God and growing in Him.
One of the blessings from God is that we learn and grow in Christ together as a community of disciples. None of us are perfect, none of us have it all together, none of us have all the answers, but we learn and grow, laugh, and serve together because we have a God who is perfect. We love each other because Christ loves us. We serve one another because Christ came to serve. We share the good news of the Gospel because Christ commands us to. We live in His strength for His glory, together in His church.
It's been an incredible journey so far and we know God isn't through with us yet. We don't know what's next, but He does, and we'd love to have you along for whatever God has in store for us.
