Worship & Community
First, we pray! This ministry is grounded in prayer and acts of worship.
We share resources which reflect the conviction that we are called to care for God’s creation and to follow God’s call for justice, mercy and compassion — as God defines them.

Advocacy
Now there are a variety of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone …for the common good.
