About Us

Who we are, where we come from, and where we're headed as a church family

Mission:

Bringing Gospel Restoration into our everyday lives as we live devoted to Jesus.


  1. We believe people are broken because of sin and the only thing that can restore our brokenness is the Gospel of Jesus. We desire to see people experience Gospel Restoration.
  2. We believe the Gospel doesn't just change our future but also our everyday life. We desire to see the Gospel restore every single aspect of our lives.
  3. We believe a life that is being restored by the Gospel is a life that is fully devoted to Jesus. We desire to be a people that are fully devoted and focused of Jesus.
