Currently, we are reestablishing our youth ministry. Our community outreach programs serve the needs we see in the community and aim to reach others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Through our online Zoom ministry and Masala Ministries, we seek to reach and impact international pastors/partners and their missions.
