We are very proud as a church to be carrying out God's mandate as set out in Galatians 6:10. "As we have therefore opportunity let us do good unto all men especially unto them who are of the household of faith."

We also embrace our Vision Statement where we are not only discipling our people for Christian service but also supporting them in their academic pursuits so that they can make valuable contributions to the church, country and by extension the world.

A big thank you to Mrs. Icelyn Corinaldi from the United Worship Centre in Queens, New York. Thank you for four years of consistent contributions. To our own members, special thanks to you. Continue to give to the cause of God's Kingdom. Special thanks to our interview panelists and Members of the Board who supported the entire process. God bless you all richly.
