We offer a warm and inviting environment where you can join a
community of believers who will support and encourage you to live a
faith-filled life for God’s glory.
Our church is a welcoming and accepting place where you can form

our community firsthand and join our family.

What To Expect
We will gather together to worship through various means
including prayer, communion, music, congregational hymns,
and responsive readings. While our service may involve moments of
quiet and reflection in God’s presence, as a charismatic church,
we also embrace joyful and lively expressions of worship,
which can include shouts of joy.
Our sermons are grounded in the timeless Word of God
and are presented in a relevant, authentic, and practical way
that is applicable to modern-day life. From time to time,
we may also organize special services centered around a
specific theme or occasion, such as Health Sunday or Cultural Sunday
