CELEBRATION

Friday, June 5 Free Registration
This year, we celebrate 40 years of God’s faithfulness—from humble beginnings in 1986 with six members—to a thriving, multicampus church with a global reach. Through every season—growth, challenge, and expansion—God has remained constant, guiding our mission of uniting people to God and people to people. As we pause to celebrate, we reflect on all He has done and pray with expectation about what He will do next.

Faithful Through Generations — 1986-2026

As we celebrate 40 years of God’s faithfulness, we invite you to join us on June 5 to honor all He has done to build the thriving community of believers we are today.

This milestone marks more than a number—it’s a testimony of God’s faithfulness and a moment to look ahead with expectant faith as we continue the journey together!
