Vision
Our vision is simple: “Changing lives and communities through a culture of caring and connecting people to Christ.” How do we achieve this? By believing in the transforming power of Jesus through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God. Through these methods, our hope is to see people experience a life-changing transformation through Christ and move into their purpose. When this happens, communities will be impacted and humanity is served. Through a culture of caring , we care about everyone we encounter; treating them with respect, and preserving their dignity. We believe this demonstration of care connects people to the Jesus we preach and teach about, and is a testament to how we Love God, Serve People, and Present Jesus!
