Jesus plus nothing. The Word of God minus nothing. We believe the Church is a people, where God dwells in undeniable, tangible, and life-changing ways. Whenever we gather, we prioritize the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is our focus. Worship is not just a ‘warm-up’ for the preacher; it is integral to our service. We expect signs and wonders and believe that revival is inevitable. The human heart was made to burn with the fire of God’s love and power! We aim to record every Sunday gathering to share with you as various members of the body speak about what God is revealing.
