Vision: Healing & Hope
God calls us to be followers of Jesus Christ
and, by the power of the Holy spirit,
to grow as communities of grace, joy, and peace,
so that God’s healing and hope
flow through us to the world.

Pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. – James 5:16

The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord accepts my prayer. – Psalm 6:9
