We believe in God's love and grace and believe that should be shared with all people in what we do and say.
We want people to know that God's love and forgiveness is for everybody no matter where they have been and what they have done.
We gather together to worship the Lord and share our experience, strength and hope in our beautiful historic building in Alexandria, Indiana.
We have traditional worship, but it is done informally and deals with contemporary issues. We also publish Pastor Kal's sermons and podcasts as audio and video on our website to share God's message globally.
We strive to be a force for good, sharing God's love by helping care for those in our community with needs.
We house and support Pete's Pantry, where families can come for free food, and operate Heaven's Wearhouse, which provides donated clothing and household items to people in need.
We also support several other ministries as well, and as a certified Master Addictions Counselor, Pastor Kal serves as a resource for those dealing with addiction issues in the congregation and throughout the local community.
