• Farewell Coach Joe Gibbs --- Saying goodbye is always hard to do. Especially when the person is "an institution."Here at Azalea we are saying goodbye to our friend and Minister of Christian Education, Rev. Amy Stertz. Norfolk is saying goodbye to Old Dominion University's President Runte. And now the Redskins are saying goodbye to legendary coach Joe Gibbs. I applaud Joe Gibbs testimony as a follower of Christ above... ::view full post

• Youth EnCounter August 2-3 --- I always enjoy spending time with our young people. Because of other scheduled responsibilities, I don't always get to spend as much time as I'd like with our youth. So I always look for opportunities when I can connect with our young members. YEC is the perfect opportunity! It used to be Youth Evangelism Conference, but now is called Youth EnCounter. It used to be... ::view full post

• Youth Sunday --- Youth Sunday was such an incredible witness for me. The youth led the worship service, doing everything from testimony, scripture reading, reflecting on their Mfuge trip, the music, to even taking up the offering! At the beginning of the service I sat at the back. I wanted to see how people would react to "the youth's music." It wasn't loud, in fact, probably could have... ::view full post

Our Mission

Our mission is to participate in the fulfillment of the Great Commission recorded in Matthew 28:19-20:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Our Purpose

We believe it is our purpose as a church to help one another learn how to experience this personal relationship with God every moment of every day. Therefore, the goal of our effort is not on getting people to be religious by having them “come to church” or do “religious” things. Our goal is to assist people as they seek to live lifestyles that are pleasing to God in all their relationships. Church is a place to remind, instruct, inspire and encourage a growing personal relationship with God beyond the walls of the church.
