WELCOME
Our Mission is to
seek out, witness to, and disciple the unsaved and the unchurched
in the inner city - especially in the communities of Fairfield, Whitcomb,
and Creighton Courts in the Greater Richmond Area.
We believe that God wants to use us to raise up a faith community who will be committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ - dedicated to the building of a community that models the gospel message through love for God, Self and Others.
OUR VISION
We are a people called Faith Community and we have a mission. Our mission is to seek out, witness to, and disciple the unsaved and the unchurched in the inner city, especially the communities of Fairfield, Whitcomb and Creighton Courts in the East End of the city of Richmond.
We believe that God wants to use us to raise up in the heart of this community a “faith community” who will be committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ and dedicated to the building of a community that will model the gospel message of Jesus Christ through love for God, self, and others.
God has called us into existence to seek the salvation of sinners, the reclamation of backsliders, the sanctification of saints, the liberation of the oppressed and the empowerment of this African-American community spiritually, economically, educationally, and socially.
