our Core Values
Our vision is to share God’s love with everyone we can and to exemplify God on earth. Our mission is to be a gateway so that others can grow and develop their faith in Jesus Christ.
It's All About Jesus
Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'
The Word of God
Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
Power of Prayer
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
True Worship
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.
Love Never Fails
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
"I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'"
— Psalm 122:1
