We do church as A team.
It is our joy to release people to minister in their different areas of gifting and interest. A spirit of excellence prevails in every area of ministry, and the vision behind it all remains… Love people back to life!
Make a difference.
What is the A-Team?
The A-Team is a group of incredible people that have discovered their gifts and passions and are actively serving in them. From creating a comfortable environment by serving on a Greeting Team, to leading the next generation to Jesus by serving on a Student Ministries Team, to crafting a dynamic experience with the Production Team, to tearing down barriers across our city by leading a Pulse Group or partnering with our outreach team — we are a group that forcefully advances the Kingdom of God.
