THE DREAM TEAM

Meet Our Ministry Team

It is the heart of our church to put our faith into action by meeting the needs of the people in our community and around the world. This starts with our Ministry Team and their example sets the tone for the rest of our congregation. Rather than simply tell people about the life-changing love of Jesus, we want to show them by the way we serve them. Our faith inspires our work and it's our prayer that our work would lay the foundations for new relationships, life-changing conversations, and ultimately, salvation in Christ for those in our community.
