Our Mission and Vision
We exist to Glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation, but as it is written, “Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.”
(Romans 15:20-21 ESV)
