Mission Statement
"We are strangers and aliens no longer. We are fellow citizens of the Saints and members of the Household of God. We form a Building which rises on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, with CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF as the Cornerstone. In Him, the whole structure fits together and takes shape as a holy Temple of the Lord. In Him, we are being built into this Temple, to become a dwelling place for God in the Holy Spirit." – Ephesians 2: 19 - 22
