Sunday School

A greenhouse, not a holding room.

Our kids ministry is one of the biggest things we do, and we do not treat it as childcare. It is where the soil is prepared, the seed is nourished and the fruit is harvested. Children here carry the fragrance of Heaven.

Connect Groups

Community is our commitment.

We are not designed to do life alone, which is why Connect Groups are a priority for us. They are intentional weekly spaces for connection and conversation.
