SEEDS is a new ministry for the family to grow together in the gospel.

We picture the church full of families worshiping together and growing together in the gospel.  We picture the church full of families serving one another in love and unity.  And we picture the church full of families eager to invite their friends and neighbors to a relevant, engaging Christ-centered experience for the whole familiy.
