We believe every time we as God's people gather together under the banner of Christ that ministry is taking place. Whether in the church, in our homes, or on the street, Christ is attending to us as we attend to each other. He is caring for and serving us as we care for and serve each other. It is within this atmosphere that the Holy Spirit is able to change our mindsets, heal our hearts, and empower our lives. It is our contention that every believer in the body of Christ has full authority to be an ambassador of Christ's love. Peter put it this way:
"As you come to him, the living Stone - rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him - you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ . . . you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." - 1 Pet 2: 4,5,9.
As you explore the menu to the left know that these are not simply 'program' areas, but rather truly active areas of ministry within our church body where the 'praises of Him' are declared.
