What if I'm not a Christian?
We invite people from all walks of life to join us. We are Christians and are not apologetic about our faith. However, we do not feel we can "make" someone a Christian. Being a Christian is about the work of God in an individual's life. We will offer you opportunites to profess Jesus Christ as your Savior; however, we are not called to force a person to know Christ. A person is Christian based on the work of God in an individual's life, and that person's response to God. We desire to be in conversation and walk alongside all people, regardless of where they are in their faith journey.
