The family is the key to God’s plan. We value ministry to children, youth and adults. We seek to build strong marriages, strong families and a strong church to minister to married and single alike.

We seek to reflect the extravagant and generous love of God through our actions as a church. We express God’s love through kind words, helpful deeds, service to others and monetary sacrifice, as we seek to participate in building God’s Kingdom on Earth.
