To all who are spiritually weary and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and desire victory;

To all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness;

And to whoever will come – this church opens wide her doors and offers her welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
