Just before he ascended back to heaven, Jesus commissioned the apostles to wait in Jerusalem for power from God to accomplish the witnessing work of bringing the gospel to the whole world. ...read more

Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more
