Pray: Know God

The God of all creation wants to have a relationship with you. He wants to show you what He is like and how He does things so you can become like Him and succeed in every way.

Love: Make Him KNown

The fact is that your spiritual growth has everything to do with the people that are in your life. Spiritual growth and transformation happen best when we are connected to community where we can be known, learn, grow, love, and serve others. Together we show the world what God and the Kingdom of Heaven are really like.

Serve: Use Your Gifts

There is not another human being on the planet who has ever been, or ever will be just like you. You are a unique expression of the attributes, personality, and giftings of God. And only you, being you, can glorify God in the way He created you.
