Our Mission
REACH unchurched people, TEACH believers to love Jesus fully, MEND broken lives, and SEND disciples into ministry.
Our Core Values
We are a Bible-believing, Jesus-exalting, Gospel-centered, Kingdom-minded church that works with many other churches in our city to expand the kingdom of God.
We are also happily affiliated with a Bible-believing family of churches called Free Methodist (not to be confused with United Methodist). To find out more about the family we belong to, visit fmcusa.org.
Passion
We passionately love God and His Word. We demonstrate that love through priority in worship, prayer, and serving others. We pursue spiritual habits of devotion to Christ.
Transformation
We believe in the Spirit-empowered life and daily seek His filling. We practice spiritual warfare and believe in God performing daily miracles. We embrace all the gifts of the Spirit found in the New Testament.
mISSIONAL
We are an externally focused church, meaning we exist to serve others, not to serve ourselves. We are kingdom-minded, working with other Bible-believing churches to be doers of God's Word in our area. We prioritize serving the poor with the Good News and with good deeds both in our neighborhood and around the GLOBE!

Community
We prioritize relationships, living in community as believers. We are intentionally a MULTI-ETHNIC church that emphasizes friendships that empower us to grow. We are diverse economically, ethnically, and generationally
CREATIVITY
We believe every individual was created with a UNIQUE DESTINY. We help people discover their created design - their strengths and their spiritual gifts. We embrace the arts and use them as tools of worship and mission. Creativity is highly valued.
Our Impact
In 1999, the Lord spoke to Pastor Larry and Deb and our leaders to become a “river” church. A “lake” church sees how many people it can get around one person at one place; it collects people rather than sending them.
