We Need Your Partnership! Why?

What happens when you support us?

Your gift is not only supporting us to do ministry, but you partner with us to come along side to do real ministry to other pastors too. You help those in ministry who have no means to go to higher education or receive seminary level educational resources or the means to pastor their flock effectively.

Christmas Themes

What Can We Give God?

Living the Christmas Spirit

Are you so caught up in the events and planning of Christmas that you have forgotten the "Christ" and the "mass," which means we are to worship and venerate Him? Most of us do forget, perhaps not intentionally, because of all our busyness and neglect.

The Incarnation of Christ

Twas The Night Before Jesus Came

We Need your Help! Every small bit of help, helps us serve our Lord!

It is our VISION and call, and commitment to point the church back onto the path of making disciples. It is our passion and directive to lead Christians away from our false perceptions and into His way.

Help us help them, help us help you!

Church Growth Tip of the Week

The church should strive to be effective. The best way to do this is by following the precepts of Scripture. We can organize the church by mobilizing the people according to their Spiritual Gifts! So few churches do this, even though it is so Scripturally clear! (Romans 12)

Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor!

Pray for discernment in exposing any plans of the enemy against your Church or attacking your pastors and staff. Ask Christ to protect us as we wage spiritual warfare against the enemy on behalf of our Church (Eph. 6:11-12, 16; Col. 2:6-8; 1 Pet. 3:12).
