COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
Advent is about the joy of longing for home – the kind of home that will complete us, the kind of home that will transform the world. It is about helping us remember that we have a mission and a hope. We are people who see God at work in this world, and we are partners in that remaking. We are the disciples who make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Worship with us this Advent and Christmas season!

We have a critical need to provide a nursery for children age 4 and under so that parents can fully attend worship and small groups without distraction or anxiety about their little ones. Whether you want to volunteer as a personal ministry, or you are looking for something part-time to supplement your income - perhaps this is a need you can fill!
