"Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together. That is where the tribes go up—the tribes of the Lord—to praise the name of the Lord according to the statute given to Israel."- Psalm 122:3-4
The Tribal Ministry is designed as a way to allow members to connect with each other on a smaller scale and to encourage fellowship and active involvement by and among all members of our church. The Tribal Family Ministry aims to strengthen the church/congregant relationship by assigning each family to a tribe. Your tribe leaders will serve you through prayer, visitations, and crisis support.

The Diaconate ministry provides leadership to the tribal ministry-sponsored events and activities that cross all sectors of our church life and encourages members to become a part of these efforts. Activities are intended to help every member of our church to be a part of the vision, mission, and values we aspire to display in our efforts to love one another as Christ loves us. We believe this area is the pinnacle of our ministry efforts as spiritual leaders of our church.
