Connecting and serving with the Family of Christ – supporting, encouraging, forgiving, challenging and deeply loving each other.

MISSION

A Plan for GROWING

Our goal is for each person to grow into a Fully Devoted Follower of Christ. We are not perfect, but we can walk with Jesus! Below there are 7 parts of Discipleship, Fellowship, and Mission. These are basic habits of Christianity. The best plan is to have a plan – for each season of your life to come up with a plan to grow in each of these areas, so that no area is neglected.
