A New Church in Northern Tampa Bay

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
