OUR MISSION

We must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Surrendering ourselves to live a life that is set apart.
 
 
 
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
We follow Jesus by following his example through studying the Word, spending time in prayer, and fellowship with believers.
 
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
We are here to help and equip people to make Jesus known in their homes, in the community, in our nation, and around the world.
 
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
