Serve With Us

Serving through church gives us a way to belong and meet new people. We’ve got many openings available to fit your gifts and passions, whether it might be serving the Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, singing on the Praise Team, serving in our Special Needs Ministry, Media Team, and many others.

Glory to the King!

“On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” -Matthew 2:11. The gifts of the Maji showed great honor and respect to the newborn king. They sacrificed to make sure they got to worship Jesus and present their gifts to him. It’s clear Jesus was a priority to them. Our words and deeds demonstrate our priorities. Giving to church is another tangible way to demonstrate the priority of God in our lives. May we give glory to the King.
