WE EXIST TO BE A

LIFE-CHANGING CHURCH


We offer 2 unique services that take place SIMULTANEOUSLY at 10:30 A.M. One is Contemporary with a praise band and the other is Traditional with hymns. The Lead Pastor, Nicky, speaks IN PERSON at both services. Our saying is "if you like it - we probably have it!"
