Welcome !

We are visionaries, creators, technical geniuses and really good people, working together to help build the Kingdom of God. Utilizing our various talents and gifts, we equip leaders to share the gospel and impact lives.

Our role in the church

We use and develop our skills to help amplify Jesus to be known for impact around the world.

““Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!” ”
— -Psalm 96:3

This is a multi-campus vision.

We are one church with multiple locations meant to ignite a passion for Jesus in Connecticut, New England and around the world.

Bethel | Waterbury | New Milford | Derby | Online Campuses

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” -Acts 1:8

What does it mean to serve with excellence?

In tune with it!

Steve at the board, ensuring that everything is sounding and operating at a high standard.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” -Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

Excellence is not perfection, but rather having a high standard for what’s important.

We do this together!

Tech volunteers

Learning and gaining experience directing a service from our Lights Camera Action camp.

Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. -Romans 12:4-5
