To have life, we must follow Jesus, the Son of God.

In Acts 10, there is a story about a military family and God used this family to minister to people in the region. Living in Hampton Roads, we live in the midst of the largest military population in the country and we have the opportunity to reach out to the military and military believers have the ability to go over all over the world spreading God's love.

In Christ, I am entirely equipped for victory.

We Must...

Give everything we are to God.

Reject the world’s mold.
