Community Outreach

A time to serve together

Being a missional church means living out our faith beyond the walls of the building—joining God’s mission in our community and the world. We seek to love, serve, and share the hope of Christ in everyday life, meeting people where they are and showing God’s grace through action and compassion.

A missional church doesn’t just go to church—it is the church, carrying the message of Jesus into workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and wherever He leads.
