  • GroupLink was Hit

    Today was the much anticipated debut of GroupLink. Simply put, GroupLink is an event that the church puts together that connects people looking to join a small group to a new small group.

  • Starting to see it…

    A lot has been said and talked about, to me at least, with the church’s "new vision/direction/whatever you’d like to call it." Here is one place where the results are starting to show through.
