In its own words
We hold worship services weekly. We provide ministries for women men youth and children weekly or monthly. We provide pastoral care. We donate funds to denomination headquarters for missions. We donate to qualified donees other than North American Baptist Conference. We go on missions to other countries to further spread the gospel and relieve poverty. We support Operation Christmas Child by preparing 'shoeboxes' in our facility until they are shipped to Samaritan's Purse in Calgary to be distributed internationally.
