We believe Jesus Christ is Lord, the Word, the Son of God and the Savior of the World, that He is including us in His prayer in John 17:21 which makes all believers to be “One in us”. Once saved by grace, we are saved through faith which is a gift of God and not of works. Ephesians 2:8,9 That the believer is called to make a difference and we desire to do that, for who is called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 “One life, One difference”.

Our prayer is that we will come together for His purpose.

Starfish Story

A storm came and washed thousands of starfish against the beach. The next day, a boy appeared and with loving care began picking up each starfish, individually and placed it back into the sea.  

A stranger was watching and approached the boy, saying with a smirk, “Son, there are thousands of them! You can’t possibly make a difference to them all!”

The boy stopped and considered this a moment, then disregarding the stranger, lovingly returned to his task and with great care, again began picking up the next starfish saying, “I’m making a difference with this one” and reaching for another saying, “I’m making a difference with that one.”
