Within the four years of our church plant (starting in January 2000), God has richly planted us in a fertile soil, sustained us through a difficult Covid year, taught us the valuable lessons of the early church in Acts, provided the resources and building facilities to carry out our mission, and has enriched our congregation with tremendous growth and unity.

This faithful minister will be able to use their spiritual gifts to help reap an immense harvest.

Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the scriptures are silent, we are silent.” Our church focuses on the unity of believers through faith in Jesus Christ and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. We are fast growing church that is Biblically sound, Christ-centered, and missionally focused on discipleship.
