This year, weโre focusing on three strategic pillars to guide our ministry: 1. Spiritual Growth & Discipleship Goal: Equip individuals to grow deeper in their faith and develop spiritual resilience. 2. Community Impact & Connection Goal: Strengthen our local and global communities through service and relationships. 3. Hybrid Excellence & Engagement Goal: Optimize our digital and in-person ministries to meet people wherever they are.
