Meet Providence Church

We live under constant pressure to do more and be more. In the busyness, sometimes it’s hard to see how the Bible is relevant in our daily lives.

We work hard to make a safe space for people of all ages and stages to explore what it means to know and follow Jesus. We believe the God of the Bible is the source of our meaning and want to live in alignment with Him.

Our hope is to be a close-knit community of believers and faith explorers doing life together.
