Overview
We are a growing, Spirit-led congregation in the Georgetown, TX area committed to serving our community and honoring God with all we have — including our finances. Rooted in Christian faith and guided by a deep love for our neighbors, our church family is a welcoming place where people of all walks of life find purpose, belonging, and hope. We are one church with two altars as we hold services in both central Georgetown and at a location near Sun City. We are in the process of a capitol fund drive to build a building in west Georgetown. As faithful stewards of the resources entrusted to us, we take our financial integrity seriously and are seeking a like-minded professional to help us carry that mission forward.
