We strive to be a beacon of light in our community that stretches across the globe using our hands and hearts to do the will of God. Our vision is to be faithful followers through our example of the Great Commandment declared by Jesus Christ to, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."
