Thanks for joining us today!

As followers of Jesus, we are called to be 'Set Apart' from the ways of the world, pursuing holiness as we live by HIS grace, for HIS glory, and in HIS power to bring about HIS Kingdom in and through HIS people. We are “Set Apart” for a purpose, to intentionally live lives of obedient faith and holiness “for the sake of HIS name among all the nations.”

The confidence of the almighty GOD being for us is to give us strength, hope and assurance in HIM to follow HIM. Nothing can or does defeat HIM nor can separate us from HIS love if we are in HIM. HE truly sets us apart!
