Kids met unlikely Bible heroes who are often overlooked. They were not famous leaders or called by God to perform amazing miracles—yet their small acts were used by God to do wonderful things! Kids discovered that if they’re willing to be used by God in any situation, no matter how big or small, they can make a difference. With God’s power at work, they can be heroes right where they are!

Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts — it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Join Pastor Pagán on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm for a book study of “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan.

Join us for a worship service this weekend as Pastor Pagán continues this 6-week series on the devistating effects of betrayal.

Today’s believers live very similarly to non-believers. A personal sense of significance is rarely experienced, we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy and we begin to wonder what life’s ultimate purpose really is. We are, in short, losing our bearings as a people and a nation.

Join us during Christian Education Hour at 10:00am on Sunday mornings and at 6:00pm on Monday evenings for The Truth Project, a study led by Joshua Pagán. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.

Real community happens when people come together in love, acceptance, and encouragement. Community and life change happen best in Small Groups.

Our Small Group structure is semester based with three semesters being offered each year; Fall, Spring, and Summer. Each semester a variety of offerings are available for men, women, and mixed groups. These groups meet at the church, in homes, or other places.

There are many small groups that are designed to suit different age groups and meet on different days of the week at different times. We are here to help you find the group right for you. Please fill out the form below if you are interested in either joining a small group or hosting a small group.
