Our mission statement is: Ephesians 3: 14 Thru 19:

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Holy Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints that which is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
