Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
Church is not a building where we show up on the weekend and consume knowledge. Rather, the Church is the body of believers gathering and serving as we grow in our love and knowledge of The Lord together. Please find a place where God has uniquely gifted you to serve; our Fellowship family and our community needs every person to utilize their gifts and talents.
