In its own words
The love of god as revealed in the bible forms the basis for all programs. Spiritual care is given to members and those from the community who desire it in the form of worship services classes (including sunday school vacation bible school confirmation youth and adult bible studies) outreach fellowship activities and spiritual counselling. Other organizations that share the love of god in the word and deed are also supported through prayer encouragement and financial means.
