PRAISE IS EXPANDING

  • MORE ROOM.

    When our church reaches its physical capacity, we face a pivotal choice. Will we shut our doors to the community, or will we boldly stretch our limits and sacrifice for those who have yet to join us?

  • MORE PEOPLE.

    The only treasures we take into eternity are the souls we touch. Embracing those without a home in our community is one of the greatest privileges we hold.

  • MORE TESTIMONY.

    Increasing our numbers isn't the ultimate measure of success for our church; it's the profound interactions those individuals have with the Father. Each new person brings with them the potential for a life-changing encounter with God, creating testimonies that inspire and uplift us all.

BUILDING UPDATES

  • We are excited to announce plans to remodel our gym into a fully equipped worship space! This transformation will not only provide a more welcoming and functional environment but also create additional room to accommodate more people. As we prepare this space, our goal is to foster an atmosphere where testimonies of God's work can flourish, allowing individuals to experience His presence in a new and powerful way. This remodel is a key step in expanding our capacity to serve and grow as a church family, and we can’t wait to see how God uses this space to impact lives and bring glory to His name.

    With this project, we aim to make room for growth, enhance worship experiences, and further our mission of sharing God’s love. Join us in prayer and partnership as we take this step to expand our reach and impact lives for His glory!

  • We’re excited to share that work is underway to get our new kitchen up and running! While we’re addressing a few building code requirements, progress is being made steadily. Our goal is to have the kitchen fully operational by summer 2025.

    Thank you for your patience and support as we move closer to this exciting addition, which will serve as a hub for fellowship, ministry, and community outreach!
