God treasures us. God loves people! Forgiven by God, we get to love him back. One way we do this is through loving other people in Jesus' name. After all, Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself."

We are leading our people to become the best neighbors ever where they live, work and play. Our church leaders’ job is to encourage, equip and empower our people to do this each week starting at home and working outward from there.

Our aim with this podcast is to encourage, equip and empower our people to become the best neighbors ever where they live, work and play for this reason.

We believe God is on the move in Charleston. It is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country and we are blessed to be in the middle of it!
