Our community is a big deal to us! We see our community as an extension of our church. We have an in-school mentoring program that reaches over 400 students a week, a ministry that is focused on foster families, and close connections to city leaders, teachers, and businesses. Because of this most of the time, we are not in the office but out connecting to people. The Sunday service is not our focus (although it is important), reaching our community is.
We value authenticity, truth, the presence of God, and being part of the lives God has placed us around.
