For the 2013-2014 school year, our church opened it's doors once a month to bless our Middle School community with a safe atmosphere to hang out and free pizza. The goal was to share the love of Jesus Christ in a very basic and practical way. We allowed the kids to come in an play in our youth room that has a Billiards table, Ping Ping table, Xbox, Wii, and more!
We named this monthly outreach, "Fusion." Webster's dictionary would define fusion as, "a combination or mixture of things." We believe in Jesus Christ and the truths the Bible has to offer, and we understand that many people may not believe what we do and that won't disqualify them from being loved by us, but more importantly by God.
The Bible tells believers...
Matthew 5:14-16, "14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
The vision of our church is to worship God, build community amongst each other, and service by reaching out to our local community and beyond. We want to be a church that wants to talk and share about Jesus beyond our four walls.
I would love to invite you to come as you are as we simply follow Jesus.
