we are family!

“God places the lonely in families.” (Psalm 68:6) 

More than just a slogan, WE ARE FAMILY! Everyone is loved, and everyone is accepted. We are more than mere acquaintances. We are committed to encourage one another, believe the best in one another, pray for one another, and “do life” together. We rejoice, weep, celebrate, endure, stand, serve, and grow together!
