Key Scripture:
Romans 12:1-2
I appeal to you therefore, brothers and
sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice,
holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed
to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may
discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Our Mission: We seek to create a place of welcome and
healing, where people of all ages can meet Jesus Christ and become a vital part
of Christ's Ministry.
