To Know Him & Make Him Known
Launching Fall of 2026
It’s all about Jesus.
Jesus’ cross changes our lives.
Jesus’ crown changes our purpose.
“…looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:2
