Our Mission: by making followers of Jesus
“(Jesus) humbled himself and became obedient to death – even death on a cross! Therefore
God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above very name, that
at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.”
Phillippians 2:8-11

This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor
as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-39
