our vision

Our Care & Support Ministry exists to glorify God by teaching God’s people the tools needed to: teach others to walk with God; to bring deep restoration to the brokenhearted; to receive and impart God’s intimate counsel; and to battle the spiritual darkness that holds people captive and prevents their complete freedom in Christ.
