Mission statement
We are committed to helping people experience God’s presence through spiritual songs of praise and worship in order that they may grow to know, love, and serve Him.

Guiding scripture
Psalm 95:1-7
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song. For lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him. The sea is His, for He made it and His hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship let us kneel before the lord our maker; for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care.
