"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast" (Eph. 2:8-9).
Our Vision:
“To be a place where the abandoned, the neglected, and the marginalized find “He who sticks closer than a brother” and know the love of God is truly welcoming them into God’s Kingdom.”
Our pastoral team is here to serve you:
Lead Pastor – Rev. Blake Wagner
Spiritual Formation and Direction – Rev. Gail Alcock
Youth & Young Adults – Rev. Scott Young

End Notes
END NOTES: REAL FREEDOM to live in this world comes from hearing clearly the truth about who we are, which is that we are the beloved. That’s what prayer is about. And that’s why it is so crucial and not just a nice thing to do once in a while. It is the essential attitude that creates in us the freedom to love other people not because they are going to love us back but because we are so loved and out of the abundance of that love we want to give.
