• Welcome to my site

    Worship is more than just something we do on Sunday morning.
    It is a lifestyle of putting God first in our day to day lives.
    We learn to "Love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds and
    strength" and then as we learn more of how to love God, we learn how to
    love each other. Our community worship then becomes a corporate
    outworking of our inner heart for God.
    Our "life worship"
