In its own words
We hold regular church services for the purpose of worship teaching and preaching bible doctrine. Other ministries include sunday school adult and children outreach door to door evangelism benevolence to those in need and other ministry/fellowship programs. We help to support independent baptist missions who are involved in evangelism and the starting up of new churches. They are of like faith practice and use many of the same programs as we do. We receive regular missionary letters describing and reporting on their mission activities. We also receive receipts for monies sent.
