SHINING HOPE to the next generation
We are the next generation and we are ready to RISE UP.
We are ready to stand together in truth. Encourage one another in love. We see the need around us and it continues to worsen. So we want to help.
We want to see improved health and wellness for our friends, our family, and the young ones coming behind us. It's a new world that's still changing fast and we need better support, more education and we need to discover The Living Light.
I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. - Jesus
Believe and Be Light
For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light" - Jesus (Ephesians 5:8)
We are a church on the move, directly engaged in our community, passionate to live out Jesus' teachings and share God's love to those around us. Together, we shine a light of love and hope to everyone, especially those walking in darkness. We are dedicated to providing essential supplies to the community, education and support to youth, and ministries to strengthen faith & inspire hope to those around us.
Jesus says, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me… Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” - Matthew 25:35-40
