Overview

Mission

The corporation is organized for religious, charitable, educational, and scientific purposes as described in Section 501C3 of the Internal Revenue Cod, including the conducting evangelical Christian worship services, encouraging the development of small group and house church models for effective evangelism, training in Christian discipleship to raise believers who will fulfill the mission to go and make disciples, providing effective church administration and financial resources consistent with Christian principles, to provide pastoral care services including weddings, funerals, baptism, bible teaching, and to engage in any endeavor that will advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ - "A Church."

What it reported doing in 2024

With the resignation of pastor Kirkland, our church was unable to find a replacement and the need to close our ministry was determined. The significant achievment was to dissolve our ministry and donate all assets to a 501c3 that our entire board and Pastor offer full support.
