Ministry Focus
Women’s Ministry celebrates the fullness of life that comes from a meaningful relationship with Christ and a thriving community with other women.
Our mission is to:
- Encourage women to know and follow Jesus Christ.
- Engage women to grow in relationship with Christ through discipleship and community.
- Empower women to go and live out their purpose as they serve and reach others for Christ locally and globally.
Our prayer is that you find a place where you can know, grow and go because of Jesus!
