Connect to His Family:
Every person needs to belong, be loved, and be accepted (Hebrews 10:24-25). Our joy is to assist in helping every follower develop genuine and eternal friendships among the family of God (Acts 2:42-47)

We exist to provide resources to help us all become fully functioning followers of Jesus (Mark 1:17)
(Psalm 119:97, 131, 133; Romans 8:29; Ephesians 4:12-13)
Serve God’s Purposes with Your Life:
The greatest day in anyone’s life is the moment of discovering why you were born (Jeremiah 1:5; 29:11). Our goal is to guide all in this realization (Acts 13:36)
