Make a Difference
​We are a church committed to helping those in need within our community. This call from God aligns with our mission of being a church that offers welcome and belonging to all — a feeling that is difficult to experience without the shelter of a roof overhead. Though we are not the roof, by working with local partners and organizations, we strive to lessen the burden of homelessness. ​
“For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become humble servants to one another.” Galatians 5: 13
