Do you have questions about what it means to be a Christian?

Who is Jesus? What does it mean to be saved? Am I saved? Am I going to have to follow a bunch of rules after I become a Christian? Vida or Encounter Sunday night gathering is a place where you can learn the answers to your questions. Our prayer is that you will connect with God and the body of Christ. Grow in relationship with God and one another. Go live for God daily.

What happens Sunday nights?

We gather for a time of food and catch up with each other. Explore who God is, who we are in Christ and how we can be the light in the world through studying the Bible- God’s Word.
