Christians and
non-Christians from our community. We
will be working with people from churches with whom we may not agree on
every
area of doctrine. We will do our best to
dwell in unity.
If you have
work tools, please
bring them. Be sure all your tools are clearly marked and in your
own toolbox
or container.

directing people and developing receptivity to Jesus Christ and His
gospel.
Our Goals:

honoring ways.

kingdom moments that God brings into our path
3) To sensitively make relational
connections that will enable
people to hear and believe the good news.
Our Purpose:
To see those we serve, being born again into the family of God, brought
into
the body of Christ and transformed into the people, family and
community God
intends them/us to be.
Our Expectations:
We ask that all who participate, do so with a surrendered,
servant’s heart, and a humble willingness to use their God given
giftedness,
skills and abilities to build bridges that will enable us to earn an
open door
to share Christ.

is as important as the work we do or the words we say.
