In its own words
Worship services are held on sunday each week to facilitate the proclamation of the gospel of jesus christ and the foundation of community among those attending. Small groups of church attendees meet in people's homes each week for the purpose of proclaiming jesus christ and enabling members to build relationships with each other. Bible studies are carried out regularly on the premises that the church leases. A portion of proceeds is used to provide financial support to other churches with the same purpose.
