"Loving God. Loving People"
"The
purpose of this church shall be to devote ourselves to having
intimate fellowship with the living God, to the bringing of
Christ to men and of men to Christ, and the ministering to
the welfare of humanity through every open door and with every
helping hand. We are an organization of workers to help make
our city, country, and world what Christ would have them be,
as set forth in the New Testament."

Church.
