We love God and have a desire to see His fame and renown resound in our city. To that end we seek to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace by working with other like-minded churches, seek to be a place of peace in the midst of chaos, a place of forgiveness for the guilty, and a place of hope for the hopeless.
