Who We Are



We are a church that loves God and loves our community.

We are a fellowship of people who believe in Jesus

and seek to live out that belief in practical ways everyday.


Our Mission is:

Inviting people to Know Jesus

who Empowers us to Make a Difference


We live that out by inviting everyone into a life of love,

peace, power and hope that comes from knowing Jesus.



Inviting



In inviting people to know Jesus we are inviting you into a life of Faith, Hope, Grace and Love. We are inviting you into a relationship with the one who said I did not come to be served but to serve. This invitation if for anyone who is willing to accept it. So Come and See who Jesus is. Come and See what a life with Jesus can bring.



Knowing Jesus



Jesus is the ultimate source of Mercy, Love, Healing, Strength, and Joy. He is the source of the peace that we so often long to see and experience. He is the source of the empowerment to live with hope and without fear. Knowing Jesus is about being in relationship with the one who brings us into the life we were created to live.



Empowering



Through Jesus we are empowered by the Holy Spirit in ways that help us overcome, that help us help one another, that help us learn to love and forgive, that help us find peace and rest, that help us make a difference in our families and in our community.



Making A Difference



Being in relationship with Jesus calls us to action. It is not enough to worship on Sunday and go home. Jesus calls us to live out everyday what we believe to live out what we proclaim. So we Pray for this community house by house, we Feed this community through food pantries and Snack Pack programs. We seek to make a difference.



Ways to Connect



Here are some things we love to do



Worship





Worship is central to who we are and our expression of love for Jesus. Everyone is welcome. You will find worship here to be a blend of formal and informal. Traditional elements are mixed with more modern styles like drama and a praise band. All with the purpose of giving praise to God.



Small Groups





Small groups exist to help us grow in our faith as we walk side by side with each other. We have groups for all ages. We have groups that study the bible and others that study topics. These groups help us learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus and how to live that out in practical ways.



Mission work





Mission work is the way we put our faith into action and Make a Difference. Things like snack-packs for a local school, mission work in Kentucky, distributing food to help with hunger in Peoria, or helping build affordable homes with Habitat for Humanity. All of these are ways we share the love of Jesus



Fellowship





Fellowship is where we get to know each other. At coffee time and potlucks, at church picnics and movie nights, we share our laughter, our stories, our joys, and our struggles and know that we are loved.. Fellowship is where we become a community that follows Jesus together.



Caring Ministries





Caring Ministries is where we lift one another up. Praying for each other, visiting the sick, or singing with the residents of a local memory care home. Caring is how we show the Love that Jesus has shown to each of us.
