In partnership with Calvary, our local church, we announce and celebrate in new partners joining as His united body! As a congregation of followers of Christ, we connect with one another, we support each other’s calling, and we live into our context as a “sent one”.
Please join us welcoming our new partners! We invite you to connect with them!
As a family on mission, we strive to help others in following Jesus. “We proclaim him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. I labor for this, striving with his strength that works powerfully in me.”
Colossians 1:28-29
