The Kingdom

“Kingdom” = The king’s dominion

Jesus’ ministry was defined by His simple message, “Change your life. God’s kingdom is here.” During this season of preparation of returning to life and community, we will be building up our understanding of what it means to BE the Church rather than simply going to or simply doing church. The Church the Kingdom of God and we want to express His Kingdom on earth and it is in heaven. Come with us on this adventure, so we can live powerfully during and after this time of crisis in our world and emerge stronger, healthier, and ready to express the Kingdom of God in ways we never thought possible!
