We really want you here, but we know our building can be a little hard to access. Our building is at the northwest corner of the Bowen and Northfield Roads intersection. We have two driveways, one is accessible from southbound Bowen Road, it is on the right shortly after you pass Beban Park and Rosstown Road. The other driveway is accessible from westbound Northfield Rd, this driveway is shared with the gas station on the corner. When you are leaving, please be advised that both driveways are right turn only to exit.

Our Council

And what does the lord require of you but to do justice, AND TO LOVE KINDNESS, AND TO WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD? ~Micah 6:8


Keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock, of which the holy spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of god that he obtained with the blood of his own son. ~Acts 20:28

Our elders oversee the doctrine and life of our church community; they provide counsel and care, participate in and promote evangelism, and defend the faith. As shepherds of the church, our elders encourage and support members in their Christian life. 


Our deacons represent and administer the mercy of Christ to all people. They lead our church community in being faithful stewards of our time, talents, and resources. They also work alongside our Neighborhood Connections and Justice&Mercy teams to encourage participation in structures and ministries of mercy, justice, and reconciliation, both locally and globally.

Safe church

We desire our church to be a community where the value of each person is honored; where people are free to worship and grow free from abuse; and when abuse has occurred, a place where the response is compassion and justice that foster healing.*


To help us as we live into that, our Safe Church Team maintains an Abuse Prevention Policy which you can read here AbusePreventionPolicy.pdf

If you have any questions or concerns about Safe Church matters, please contact Pastor Kelli.
