Building Hope for Tomorrow
“Building Hope for Tomorrow” is all about mission and outreach. We’re building and renovating holy spaces to share the spiritually-refreshing and soul-renewing power and light of God’s amazing love with our neighbors and the world around us. As a mission church after God’s own heart, we want to discover what God can do through us (not just for us) for the sake of the world. That’s why we’re “Building Hope for Tomorrow” …
