About us
Our Goal
Our goal is to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ and communicate the Heart of God. We believe changing the world is accomplished by each individual believer’s ability to perceive God’s voice and have a focused dedication to the various assignments within God’s Will. Our lives then become strategic and intentional lives of purpose. The life of the believer is designed for “deployment” into the work that God has set for each individual to accomplish on the earth.
​
God has set this church to be a Training Agent for developing Kingdom Citizens to a life of dedicated service accomplishing His Will. Jesus teaches that He is the vine and we are the branches, our goal then is to produce "fruitful" people for the Kingdom of God that reshapes our generation and impacts generations to come.
