Mission Statement

Endeavoring to become a spiritually mature Deaconess as we undertake our spiritual role of servants in the Church exemplifying Christ and walking worthy of our calling … in love.

 

Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should “walk in newness of life.”  (Romans 6:4)
