About Us

This is Christ’s Church.  There is a place for you here.

“Speak on behalf of the voiceless and defend the cause of all those who are destitute. Open your mouth, pronounce just sentences, defend the needy and the poor.”
Proverbs.30:8-9

“No, it is not God’s will that a few rich people enjoy the goods of the world and exploit the poor. No, it is not God’s will that some people remain poor and abject forever. No, religion is not the opiate of the people; it is a force that exalts the lowly and casts down the proud, that feeds the hungry and sends the sated away empty.”
Letter of the Peoples of the Third World.
