Creating A Legacy

As we center our lives on Jesus, we’ve grown in worship, youth, children’s, and adult ministries. But growth puts pressure on our aging facilities. While the real church is God’s people, our buildings are tools requiring care. Laying a Firm Foundation ensures our facilities remain strong for future generations without compromising ministry impact.

Our Emphasis

We aim to fill every space with God’s grace and truth as we pursue our mission: Seeking the Jesus–Centered Life Together. Our leadership focuses on these areas with prayer and energy:

  • Worship—Celebrating in all styles with joy and hope.
  • Relationships—Slowing down and prioritizing meaningful connections (life at 3mph).
  • Formation—Growing into Jesus’ image and likeness.
  • Discipleship—Integrating faith into all aspects of life.
  • Outreach—Strengthening and expanding community connections.
  • Multi-Generational—Building bridges between generations as we grow younger.
  • Multi-Cultural—Engaging across cultures and economic backgrounds.
