welcome! We're Glad you're here


Our hope is to be a place where you can discover and deepen your relationship with Jesus. Pursuing Jesus and pursuing each other is the way we carry out our mission: Real Relationships, Real Transformation. We seek to be a community who loves one another well because Jesus has loved us well. 


We want to get to know you better! We hope you will join us on a Sunday for worship. We have two identical services at 9:00am and 10:45am at 3302 W. Horatio St.

current Message series

As we step into the New Year together, we’re turning our attention to the Gospel of Matthew—a deep dive into the person of Jesus. Matthew doesn’t just tell us what Jesus taught; he shows us what it looks like when God steps into real human life and begins to reshape everything from the inside out.


Across January and February, join us on Sundays at 9:00am and 10:45am as we’ll follow Jesus from His early days to His most defining moments, watching how people encountered Him—and how their lives changed because of it. Each week, we’ll see that his invitation, “Follow Me,” can begin to transform our lives and define our identities.



As we move Further in Faith our prayer is for 100% participation. 


Let's invest in future generations! Let's reach people who don't really know who Jesus is! Let's use the new church 7 days a week to serve the community! Let's ask God to strengthen our own hearts and trust him to do immeasurably more than we can imagine through us and with us!
