About Us

Passionate. Accepting. Generous. Inspiring

The vision of Amplify Church is to lead as many people as possible into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Everything we do revolves around this simple but powerful statement. Weekend services at Amplify Church last 60-70 minutes. People dress casually and the video screens and lighting may remind you more of a concert setting than a traditional worship service. But as you check out the words of the opening songs, you will know that you are definitely in church. After some brief announcements and a low key offering, a message is shared that focuses on practical application of timeless Biblical truths. We have dynamic children & youth programs and environments. Our dedication and commitment to the next generation is unmistakable.
