About Us
We invite you to join us for an awesome worship experience! Our worship is upbeat and inspiring.
The atmosphere is casual and friendly. We continuously strive to reflect the beautiful diversity of God's Kingdom and our community.
God makes no distinction between the haves and the have nots. We'd be honored to be of service to you in your faith journey!
What We Believe
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He was crucified, died and buried, and on the third day He arose from the dead and ascended on high where He took His seat at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty until His enemies became His footstool.
We believe in the rapture, that the dead in Christ will rise first and those that are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet Jesus in the air. We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God inspired by God. We believe that faith is acting on the word of God. We believe in divine healing and that Jesus is the Healer.
We believe in tithing and bringing offerings into the Church. We also believe in providing and caring for the poor, sick, homeless, and others in need.
We believe in water baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

What Is Love
"Love is what loves does. Love does what is right; What is right: THE WORD OF GOD."
The word of God is the root of growth and development. When looking at the word, we see love as the center and main focus of our daily living. With this in mind, we should allow love to be our main priority. We know that God is love, that is a sure thing. Therefore, how we live daily should depict love, In every situation we face, we must allow the love of God to be seen: whether the situation is good or bad, for love covers... (1 Peter 4:8) Once the will of God takes precedence, His love overtakes and lifts a standard in our life. Romans 13:8 reads, "Owe no man anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law". Let's do the will of God: LOVE!
Devotional
What is the Lord telling you to leave?
Genesis 12:1-2, Now the Lord had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing." What is the Lord telling you to leave? Sometimes we are so comfortable in the places we are in, and we put a deaf ear to what the Lord is saying. We don't even realize our thoughts about what God wants for us are too small; causing us to be underdeveloped, missing out on what He has for us. God requires a complete separation from the familiar. We must first CHOOSE to leave those things behind and MOVE toward the things God is calling us to. We MUST make a conscience decision to walk by faith and not by sight. In every season of our lives, God has been and continues to be faithful and true to His word. Choose this day to leave; leave those things God has told you to leave and TRUST the plan He has for you.
