When the church becomes an institution, people are nothing more than volunteers to be recruited. When the church is a movement, our stewardship becomes the unleashing of our God-given gifts, talents, and passions.
dream promise portraits
Your dreams are the product of your longings, a portrait of your potential, and a promise of your future.

We can’t change history, but we can create the future.
