We are a member district of Converge® Worldwide, a worldwide association of over 1000 churches among 20 ethnic groups, bound together by a common desire to spread the gospel around the world by

• planting new churches, and

• helping each member grow into maturity as a disciple of Christ.

All associations are cooperative and voluntary.  While we have administrative structures to facilitate joint ministry, churches choose the level at which they participate.

Below are a few of the areas we support or provide through the partnering together of our churches, providing staff and resources:

Church planting Youth Ministries & Retreats Senior Adult Ministry Stewardship & Financial Planning Retreats for Families, Pastors, etc. Support for Pastors
