Children, youth, and family

A life-long faith journey

There's enough for all children, youth, and families. All are welcome. As you enter the doors, our primary focus is love in community. You'll all feel the love God provides while feeling connected. We're an accepting, inclusive, and safe space in the community, responsive to families and youth of all backgrounds and compositions.
