The church’s facility was provided through God’s benevolence and by the sacrificial generosity of church members. The Church desires that its facility be used for the fellowship of the Body of Christ and always to God’s glory. We make our facility available to our members and approved non-member persons and groups as a witness to our faith, in a spirit of Christian charity, and as a means of demonstrating the Gospel of Jesus Christ in practice.
