What is Dream Team?

The Dream Team is a group of incredible people that have discovered their gifts and passions and are actively serving in them. From creating a comfortable environment by serving on the Weekend Support Team, to leading the next generation to Jesus by serving on the Grace Families Team, to crafting a dynamic experience with the Production Team, to building connections with others by leading a Small Group or partnering with the Extending Grace Team—we are a group of people that are committed to giving and growing in the Kingdom of God.
