A WEEK OF WITNESSING JUSTICE THROUGH SERVICE
Our mission begins with empowerment and ends with service. At the heart of our mission is the goal "to witness the Gospel." Service empowers ourselves and others to evangelize and be evangelized.
Many thanks to you for your support of our canned food drive to support needy families in our community. The students did a great job on their service day Friday.
