MAKING CHRIST KNOWN LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY
We are all created to bring glory to God and to impact all nations for His glory. We believe that the Word of God is the story of God’s glory being revealed to all of His creation and we are called to live with the purpose of making His glory known locally and globally. He has called and commissioned each of us to “make disciples of all nations”.
We know we can’t do everything, but we can do a few things well.
