Worship Ministry
We were created to worship the living God, and we believe that worship is not something that just prepares us for preaching but is a pursuit worthy of itself. Our worship teams exist to aid and lead God’s people into corporate worship. We also believe in drama and other creative worship that brings glory to God.
‘Life Groups’: Small Group Ministry
We want you to experience relationships - with God and with others. The Bible commands us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbors as ourselves. It’s really very simple: love God, love others. When you are loving God and loving others, you are passionately pursuing spiritual growth. Spiritual maturity is not a destination, but rather a continual pursuit. Participating in a Life Group will help you on this pursuit.
