In doing so, we become beacons of light, embodying the essence of the gospel in a world in dire need of compassion, understanding, and action. Through this alignment of words and deeds, we find our true purpose, contributing to a legacy that will outlive us, inspired by the eternal teachings of Christ. -Pastor Steven G.
