We plant and water, but you are the one who gives the growth!

  Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. LORD, you are the One who builds the house, and watches over the city.

We solicit your help in drawing in folks from the neighborhoods around here. We also long to have men, women, boys, and girls who will come, believe in Jesus, profess their faith, and receive Christian baptism. And then, Mighty God...
