MEET THE STAFF
We've got a group of amazing leaders
We're so thankful for the amazing leaders that faithfully serve in our local church family every day of the week. Their leadership, love, and compassion for people shows in everything they do. They're regular people like the rest of us, but they have a heart for God and a passion for the gospel.
Let us introduce you!
