Everybody is welcome here. That’s not just church talk; it is the truth. You will find people who never went to church until last
month and others who grew up going to church every Sunday. We’ve got people who’ve made some big mistakes and some who seem to really “have it made.” You’ll find little kids, people approaching 100, and everything in between. We have singles, newly married, never married, divorced, remarried, long-time married or lost their mate. We come from different ethnic backgrounds and cultures. But no matter who you are, we want you.
The people are for real. Transparency is promoted here. We aren't perfect and we don’t “know it all.” We are a group of people trying to think before we act.
// Jesus is our model and we are learning from Him that there is no sense pretending.
If you make a mistake around here, you can start over. Authenticity prevails. Learning to forgive is a big step, along with
realizing that God can forgive us. That is sometimes the hard part: believing God has forgiven us. Pleasing God is more important than pleasing each other. We are making a difference. There is no sense going through motions of church life. The ministries of this church are designed to help people make it. Some of our priorities might surprise you, but addicted people, abused people, incarcerated people, hungry people, and lonely people need Jesus. Besides that, there are lots of people who have never had the chance to learn about Jesus; making sure that happens is very important.
