Acts and Letters of the Apostles

God has called us to serve Him with joy and enthusiasm for Gospel of Christ.  We are the continuation of the mission as described in Acts.

The unstoppable unity of believers empowers us to build a community of believers.
We are caused to learn, understand and have compassion for our community.  Find the pressure points and give the solution... Jesus.

In Acts we see the Unstoppable Church
  • In the face of Rejection - Courage
  • In the face of Opposition - Patience 
  • In the face of Faith - Joy
