Living Epistles seeks to share the good news of Jesus Christ while supporting and uplifting marginalized individuals and families within the community.
The church is committed to embodying Christ's command to love our neighbors by engaging in various outreach programs and initiatives. These efforts aim to provide practical assistance, emotional support, and spiritual guidance to those facing challenges. By fostering a welcoming environment, Living Epistles Community Church strives to create a sense of belonging for everyone and inspire hope and transformation in their lives.
