Listen as Pastor Jeremy begins our new fall sermon series with the message, Ecclesiastes: An Eternal Perspective: Who How What…
Use Your Gift (Re-ENGAGE)

You have a God-given gift and you are ESSENTIAL to the body of Christ! We are asking you to re-engage and use your spiritual gifts to…

Living with an Open Hand

We want to EMBRACE God’s Word because it is God’s infallible truth and as we read in John 17:3, “…this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”…
Enjoy God
What is the purpose of life and why are we here? As Psalm 63 exclaims, we believe our purpose is to worship God and enjoy Him forever, because His steadfast love is better than life (v.3).
