We are a fellowship of spirit-filled believers. It is our Mission to share the unconditional love of God with those we come in contact with everyday. Our desire is to know God through a personal relationship with Jesus. We believe it is our call to reach our community while equipping believers though discipleship and exercising spiritual gifts. 'If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.' - John 15:7-8
