Our purpose is to reunite people to God and His family while showing them how to relate to God by celebrating His name, as we raise them up as disciples releasing them to serve in the church and to rescue those who have lost their way.
Our Vision
-Isaiah 58:1-2
To develop a community of faith for successful living in Christ by rebuilding families, raising up spiritual leaders, and repairing broken relationships with will ultimately produce a restoration of a unified community! We will accomplish this by the preaching, and teaching of the Word of God, through community outreaches, big events, and ultimately by building a “ Training Center,” that will prepare, develop, and equip people in sacred ministry to extend the Kingdom of God!
