Who We Are
We are a group of sinners from many backgrounds, united for the purpose of worshiping God through the true head of the church, Jesus, the Messiah (“Christ”).
We are definitely not perfect. We are sinners, and we fail all the time. One of the reasons we come to church is to learn to be more and more like Jesus.
