Prayer is the channel of God empowering his church, and our first step in any endeavor. (2 Corinthians 10:5)

Worship is the heartfelt exaltation and enjoyment of God personally and corporately in word and deed. We pursue it passionately. (John 4:23-24)

Caring for the concerns of others demonstrates Christ’s love.  We exercise this ministry enthusiastically. (Romans 12:9-11)
