We are a people sent in the power of the Holy Spirit to proclaim and live the Gospel both near and far, expecting that this Truth will renew lives and cultures.

Engage Across Generations
We display the beauty and power of the Gospel through the intentional investment of the old in the young and the young in the old.
What We Believe
There is One God, Creator of all things. The Bible is God’s inerrant Word. All people are lost in sin. Jesus is fully God and fully man. Jesus died as a substitute for us and rose from the dead. The Holy Spirit is God. People are reconciled to God by faith alone, through grace alone, in Christ alone. Jesus is our Lord as well as our Savior. Jesus will return bodily. All people will be raised from the dead and receive eternal life or eternal punishment.
