SERVING OUR CITY

 
 

WE LOVE MIAMI!

 
 

We are always looking for new city projects to engage in, ways to support our members in missions, and long-term ministry partners.

Our vision is to seek the renewal of cities by helping people connect life to the way of Jesus.

Jesus promised that He is making all things new, and we have the privilege of being invited into this renewal process. Join us in this exciting pursuit by partnering with time, talent, and treasure.
