Our Mission

Reach the Lost

Reach those who may not have heard about Jesus or those who have wandered off the path of faith. Reaching the lost isn’t just about preaching; it’s about love, compassion, and guiding others toward a life filled with hope and purpose through Christ. “He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'” – Mark 16:15 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” – Matthew 28:19-20 “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” – Luke 19:10

Refresh the Broken

The 3 R ‘s: refresh, replenish, and restore the spirit. “I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.”- Jeremiah 31:25 Refresh: Give new strength or energy to; reinvigorate; to update or renew Replenish: Fill (something) up again; to fill with inspiration or power to supply fully Restore: To return to an earlier or original condition.

Restore Strength to the Believer

• “In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation”.
1 Peter 5:10 NIV

Raise Up Effective Leaders

During Jesus’ three years of ministry with His disciples they saw every thing He did and how He ministered to people. By following Jesus example, and the enabling of the Holy Spirit, they became powerful ministers of the gospel wherever they went. Jesus Showed Them, Trained Them and Empowered them

Regain Fallen Leaders

The position of spiritual leadership is not one that is “claimed”— It is one into which a person matures…….

What We Believe

We believe and worship God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe that sin resulted in the separation from God.

We believe humanity is in need of a Savior for redemption and the restoration of fellowship with God.

We believe that Jesus died on the cross and was buried. On the third day He rose again from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God the Father.

We believe in the redemptive work of Jesus on the cross of Calvary. We believe that salvation is obtained by grace through faith. All who confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead shall be saved.
