From Maintenance Ministry
to Mission & Miracles

We are a church that Helps! Church is more than service to the status quo or an internal program. We are called to meet the articulated and identified need in our neighborhood through Actions and Advocacy of Mission which – when faithful to Christ – produce Miraculous results.
Yes.  We believe in miracles…and that today the Body of Christ is responsible for making some of them happen.  Help us manifest a miracle in Community Service and Outreach Ministry!
