OUR MISSION The Family Worship Center mission is to glorify God in our worship and lifestyle by preaching a holistic and life transforming gospel; by being involved in community development efforts and equipping and empowering believers for effective Christian living and service in the local community and beyond. The Family Life Center mission is to restore children, youth and families to personal wholeness; to equip them to perform with excellence; to empower them to succeed academically, economically, socially and spiritually in a complex and competitive society.
