Community Engagement

God has blessed us with a beautiful church building and other wonderful areas to steward and enjoy. He has also called us to be a blessing to the community we live in. One way we do this is by opening these spaces up to the community. Here are a few organizations that regularly use the spaces God has blessed us with.
