You may be wondering who we are…well, we are young and old and in-between, single, married and single-again, professionals and homemakers, moms, grandma’s, aunts, wives, sisters, daughters and best friends, shy and the life of the party, new in our faith walk and seasoned saints. More importantly though…
While we may find ourselves in various seasons of life, we share one common desire…to grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus. We’d love to have you join us as we share life together.
We’re delighted you’ve taken a moment to check us out and hope you find something that peaks your interest! For additional information about our ministry, please contact Lauri Newlin here or call 887-3111 x 159.
