As part of our "Every Person Serving" emphasis, we encourage every member and attendee to reach out to the community around us.
We appreciate our volunteers who serve faithfully within our church walls, but we think it's equally -- or maybe even more -- important to serve people in need in our families, neighborhoods, communities and world.
For this reason, one of our goals is to have 50% of our volunteer efforts take place outside the church walls, going to meet people where they are -- in the schools, workplaces, hospitals, ball fields, county jail... anywhere we can find people who need Jesus.
We believe that we're ALL called to be His disciples and show His love to others.
We have several "partnership ministries" that we encourage you to support, both financially and through serving. Mainly, we just want you to serve somewhere and be a light in our community wherever you go.
For profiles of our partnership ministries, look to the right side of this page.
