OUR VISION

 OUR MISSION

 LEADERSHIP

To Love God, To Love Others, and To Preach the Gospel to the World.
 
 
We seek to glorify our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to make true disciples throughout all the nations through missions’ activity, to minister the ordinances, to edify believers, and to do all that is possible to magnify the name of Jesus.
To Pray, Praise and Preach with the Power of the Holy Spirit to transform lives and give God glory.
 
1 Peter 2:9-10, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: Which in time past were not a people; but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are sheep who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer, to apply the biblical word of God to our lives and to serve others. Our passion and goal is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ.
