Our living hope, indeed our joyful and confidant life and witness to the world, comes from the transforming power of the Gospel and the resurrected Christ who has graced us with an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for ALL who believe in Him as Savior and Lord (1 Peter 1:4). This living hope inspires our dependence on, devotion to, and commitment to the Word of God, w
orship, prayer, and each other and moves us to take the love of Christ to our family, friends, neighbors, community, and the world in word and deed. Social Media Policy
