The beauty of generosity is that it transforms people and connects us to the heart of a generous God. As a church, we want to not only point people to a generous God, but also be an example for people to follow. For every person who walks through the doors on a Sunday morning, we are donating one dollar. If we have 1,000 people who show up over the course of a month, $1,000 is donated.

This program’s focus is on building the foundation for children to trust, hope and begin to dream.

At the root of homelessness, addiction and so many other life-controlling issues in our modern world is a lack of a relationship with Christ. So they work to teach people how to get their spiritual needs met by relating to God personally through prayer, Bible study and community.
​
Their weekly homeless outreach mobilizes teams to reach homeless people where they are, providing them with meals, resources and inviting them into a community where they can learn about God and God’s plan for their life.

Together with hundreds of volunteers and local churches, we host several events each year aimed at helping our neighbors celebrate important holidays and milestones including mother’s day, back-to-school, Thanksgiving and Christmas!
