“A church without a vision becomes a church without a mission. If the church tries to exist without a mission, it ceases to be the church. God instructed the church to go and evangelize the nations and to make God known. It is our prayer, we the body, would proclaim and serve our community by sharing the love, grace, forgiveness, salvation, and hope of Jesus Christ.”
