No one is perfect and everyone is welcome Just As You Are. No need to pretend to be better, stronger, or more spiritual than you are. You will be accepted where you are and can begin where you are and grow from there.
R – elevant in the Culture
The message of the Bible never, ever changes, but the ‘methods’ to communicate the scriptures change. To be relevant in the culture is to communicate timeless truths in clear ways. The use of various technologies enables us to reach a echnological culture like never before.

People do not care how much we know, until they know how much we care. Through small groups and with other opportunities, people discover and develop rich, real, loving friendships.
H – ope for a Fresh Start
No matter who you are, what you’ve done, how far you’ve traveled from God, how long you stayed away…we believe that ANYONE can have a fresh start with God through Christ.
