We overcome so much evil and reach so many people when we pray. The impossible can happen when we intercede for the souls of men. God answers prayers for a praying church.

We grow to be more like Him, believers fulfilling Christ's mission the world will then see Jesus in ways we couldn't show on our own.

We are to proclaim Christ everywhere we go anywhere we are led to serve Him by serving people. Lastly we are to intercede in prayer Jesus said his house will be a house of prayer.

The Church is not a building or place we are the church. Its made up of believers around the world one body in Christ. We value members of His Body who humbly submit their lives to Christ. Its not made up of one age group or one kind of people. We have many purposes we are meant to participate in and contribute towards everything we do as a church.
