Learn more about visiting →Our worship is contemporary and modern, featuring a full band with current worship songs. We do not offer a traditional service. Our focus is on creating an authentic, engaging worship experience that helps people connect with God.
Please come as you are. What matters most to us is that you're here.
Not at all. We want you to feel at ease. There's no pressure to stand, raise your hand, or introduce yourself. Simply come, be present, and experience the service at your own pace.
Absolutely. We livestream every Sunday at 10 AM, and all of our past messages are available to watch anytime. It's a wonderful way to become familiar with our community before visiting.
Watch a service →Finding Community
We understand that finding community takes time. After service, please stay for coffee and conversation. We also gather weekly at the pastor's home for a meal and fellowship—it's a meaningful way to build relationships and feel at home.
Find community →Home Huddles are small groups that meet in homes throughout the week. They're a place to study Scripture together, share life's joys and challenges, and develop lasting friendships rooted in faith.
Join a Home Huddle →There are many ways to serve and connect. Whether it's joining a Home Huddle, volunteering with our kids' ministry, or helping with Sunday setup, we'd love to help you find a place to belong and contribute.
Explore opportunities →Kids & Families
We offer age-appropriate programs for infants through elementary-aged children during our Sunday service. Our volunteers create a safe, engaging environment where kids can learn about Jesus in ways that make sense for their age.
Learn about Thrive Kids →Yes. We provide care for infants and toddlers, and age-specific programming for preschool and elementary children. All of our volunteers are background-checked and trained.
Absolutely. You're welcome to stay with your child in our kids' area until they feel comfortable. We want both you and your child to feel at ease.
Faith & Beliefs
We believe Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior—the only way to the Father. Our faith rests on the historic 'Solas' of the Reformation: Scripture alone, grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone. Salvation is a gift, not something we earn. Wherever you are on your journey, you're welcome to explore these truths with us.
Read our beliefs →Not at all. You're welcome here, no matter where you are in your faith journey. We're a community that values honest questions and genuine seeking.
We'd be honored to walk with you. You can speak with a pastor after any service, attend one of our Home Huddles, or reach out through our contact page. We're here to listen and help in any way we can.
