Missions
Expand the Kingdom of God. Serve people in our communities and around the world.
We believe our faith is practical and our lives are meant to be lived in service to others. As a community, we are always in search of ways to care for people who need the hope of Jesus locally and around the world.
Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
Matthew 25:35-40 (NIV)
