We Choose

We Choose is our ministry plan—it provides a framework for our church to pursue spiritual health and advance God's Kingdom both within and outside of our local congregations. We believe our mission of making disciples is intertwined with serving our communities at home and the global church.

Summer at Front Porch Housing

August 14, 2024

For the past three months, summer camp has been held onsite at Front Porch Housing for resident children. Camp began as a way to meet a tangible need for parents by creating an accessible, safe environment for their children during the summer so that they can continue to go to work. Through camp, not only have we been able to create safe spaces for our children, but we have also had the opportunity to share the gospel with them.
