Church Mission Statement

To reach beyond the parameters of the physical church in order to: disciple Christians and to win the lost and to take the leadership of Jesus into homes and communities. Our mission is to join the fight in breaking down barriers of religions, denominations, race and class by lifting up the name of the Lord through praise and worship. John 12:32 says that “if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all peoples to myself.”
