Who We Are

The Gospel is our central compass that helps navigate our congregation in accordance with the instructions given for the New Testament Church.

About Us

Our hope and security are found in the Good News of Jesus Christ alone. Our purpose is to be a Gospel hub in south Abilene, Texas that provides Christians the opportunity to effectively grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Our centralization around the Gospel helps us navigate as a church. We strive to make sure that everything we do falls under the umbrella of the Gospel.

Our goal is that through Christ-centered expositional preaching (book by book/verse by verse) our understanding of the grand story of the Bible will funnel into every area of a believer’s life in such a way that God’s glory is the reflection that others encounter.

Our mission is through Gospel orientation, Christ-centered worship, personal discipleship, and authentic community, we will see our neighbors in the Big Counrty come to know Jesus Christ and become disciple-makers for the glory of the Kingdom of God.
