ABIDING

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

       -  Romans 8:38-39

This is how assured we can be of God’s promises in Jesus for our lives.     -  Roger Roth

Vision Statement -  As followers of Jesus Christ, we are a community of faith

empowered by the Holy Spirit, seeking to love God with all our heart, mind, soul,

and strength, and to love others as our self.
