LOVE THE WORLD
We believe that being a wholehearted follower of Jesus involves the way we love the world and serve our neighbors. Every day, people in our communities and around the world have physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs, and we want to be a church that meets them.
Keep reading below for tangible ways we can serve our community.
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
