Inspirational Moment
Psalm 27
A Psalm of David.
1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh,
They stumbled and fell.
3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6And now shall mine head be lifted up,
Above mine enemies round about me:
Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Purpose
We exist so that the ascension 5 fold gifts of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher given to the church by Jesus when He ascended to Heaven will be used to equip God’s people to do His work and build the church, the body of Christ. God is calling the gifts to align with Heaven and bring order to the church.
Vision
The Body of Christ will mature, reflect Christ, stand strong against the cunning tricks of the enemy and grow in love as each person does the work they were created to do. Then we will walk in the ways and teachings of Jesus becoming true disciples of Christ. As Christians abide in Christ and fulfill their proper function in the church, they grow closer to one another in love and unity.
Mission
To make sure the Body is taught the word from the Lord in truth and love. Then we will grow up following Christ’s example, who is the Head. From Him the whole body-the Church in all its various parts joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies causes the body to grow and mature building itself up in love. We will spread this word to all through classes, books, meetings, conferences, social media, and other virtual avenues. The church’s spiritual growth, then, comes from Christ through the believers' ministry to one another as they employ their spiritual gifts.
