Living the Encounter Every Day

The life-changing experience we pursue together does not belong to Sunday mornings alone. We carry it into our Monday meetings, our Tuesday conversations, our Friday nights, and every ordinary moment in between.


Changing your world is not a program or an event. It is the daily overflow of a life that keeps saying yes to God, in Tampa and in every place He sends you.
