Our church

Reaching the

Lost

Millions of people are far from God. We want to reach them by sharing the Good News through every possible channel so that they can draw close to God. Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and as a church it is our joy and privilege to continue this mission today!

Reviving the

Church

We want to be a church where you not only receive knowledge ABOUT God, but where you can meet Him personally. Experience it yourself in our church. After you meet Him you will be full of His love, power and passion so you can make an impact on this generation.
