The church is instructed to make a difference by spreading the Gospel to all people. Jesus, as our example, showed us His focus when He announced His ministry:
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.” Luke 4: 18- 19 NIV.
Every community deserves a great church. We want to be a church that lifts lives. A church without walls. A church both in the community and for the community.
