WE BUILD BRIDGES NOT BARRIERS
Our MISSION is to FIND the Lost and turn the FOUND into FOLLOWERS
“The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men to Christ, and to make them little Christs. If we are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose.” – C. S. Lewis
Finding the Lost
Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” New International Version
John 4:34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. New International Version

Mark 16:15 And then he told them, “You are to go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere. 16 Those who believe and are baptized will be saved. But those who refuse to believe will be condemned. Living Bible
Romans10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. New International Version
Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” New International Version
Turning the FOUND into FOLLOWERS
