OUR CHURCH

 
Welcome to Praise ! We hope you feel right at home in our community where you’ll experience a comfortable, casual environment, with opportunities for the whole  family. We would invite you to take a look around our website and get to know us and then join us for one of our dynamic services on Sundays at 9AM & 10:30AM and Small Groups throughout the week… so we can get to know YOU.
 
Here at Praise, our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds, regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey. We don’t expect perfect people to walk through our doors each week… and certainly there are no perfect people already here! But together we aim to be the kind of church described in the Bible – engaging in practical & helpful teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for those in need.
 
 
 
 
 
 

OUR MISSION

 
You’ll hear a phrase around our church quite a bit… “HOPE GROWS HERE.” 
 
It’s our mission to spread the hope of Jesus Christ and we believe that through relationship with Him, we can DISCOVER who God is, DEVELOP faith & love,  and DO all the incredible things God designed us for in this life! 
 
This is our 3-D Mission: DISCOVER, DEVELOP, DO.
