God chose us to make a difference, but He doesn’t want us to do it alone. This message series will focus on values that will inspire our church in faith, serving, generosity, and evangelism. What we can’t do alone, God empowers us to do together.

““My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one… so that the world may believe that you have sent me… that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me…”

John 17:20–23
