Thanks for joining us today!

As followers of Jesus, we are called to be 'Set Apart' from the ways of the world, pursuing holiness as we live by HIS grace, for HIS glory, and in HIS power to bring about HIS Kingdom in and through HIS people. We are “Set Apart” for a purpose, to intentionally live lives of obedient faith and holiness “for the sake of HIS name among all the nations.”

JESUS died for our sins and in so doing opened the door for us, by faith in HIM, to have peace with GOD. HE wants us to know HIS peace, HIS grace, HIS hope, HIS glory and to suffer well as a result of HIS love for us for now and always! JESUS is awesome, let's rejoice in HIM!
