Welcome! We’re glad you’re here.

Whether you are new or returning, we want to welcome you to explore Who God is, What His Word says and discover Why He is worthy to be obeyed and praised in our lives. It is our mission to glorify God through fulfillment of the Great Commission according to Matthew 28:19-20.

“To Him be glory in the church, through Jesus Christ, now and forever more.” Ephesians 3:21

The Message of Jesus Christ

We believe in the Good News of Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God who came to destroy sin in His death on the cross. Jesus lived, He died, He rose back to life, and He is returning soon! This Good News – the Gospel – changes the whole direction of human history and the lives of all who believe in Jesus (John 3:16).

Our Gatherings

Weekend gatherings on all six campuses include live worship and the weekend message delivered through simulcast.

Don’t miss connecting at the Welcome counter or banner in the lobby following each gathering. There you’ll meet our staff and leaders who are glad to answer any questions you may have and provide you with resources.  If you have children from birth through fifth grade, you may check them in at our secure Children’s Ministry area.

When you arrive for a worship service, you’ll find friendly people who aim to make your first visit an encouraging one. Our parking ambassadors will direct you, then our greeters will guide you and answer any questions that you have.

What to wear? The Lord focuses on the heart more than on the outward appearance, and so do we. You’ll find a wide variety of clothes among our congregations—from casual jeans and shorts to more business casual. We simply aim to dress so as not to draw attention to ourselves, but keep the focus on Jesus Christ alone.
