Who We Are

Ministry Purpose:

Shine the light of Jesus Christ’s grace, compassion, peace and joy to glorify God. We are servants of the Lord to bring comfort, healing and restoration to those who are lost, broken hearted, mourning or in despair. Whatever we do, we do it all for the glory of God. We are not religious, but simply followers of Jesus and servants of God. Our ministry is of the Church, by the Church and for the Church. We are in the Body of Christ and powered by the Gospel and Holy Spirit. We are non-denominational and not affiliated with any one church congregation. We serve to bring God’s peace and the full, abundant life that Jesus Christ gives, shining light in a dark, pain-filled world.
