Level Two

ABOUT

We believe that a church is not measured by its seating capacity, but by its sending capacity. That is why we desire to be a church that sends as many people as we can into our community and places around the world that have little to no access to the gospel.

OUR MISSION

We desire to equip and send out missionaries to help change lives, communities and the world for Jesus Christ.
