New Series Starts September 8! Joining Jesus on His Mission is a book that aims to inspire and equip you to be an everyday missionary. It’s not as intimidating as it may sound! Instead of living life for Jesus, you’re living life with Jesus – and recognizing where he’s already at work in the lives of people around you.

Every household will receive a copy of the book on September 8, which we’ll be studying in our Sunday Morning Bible Study and various Connect Groups. Our hope is that we grow together in our desire and ability to connect our friends and neighbors to Jesus!

Coming up!!
