Community
Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
Part of our mission is to empower people to engage with their community.
We develop and coordinate various projects and programs in order to equip people in our church and community for fullness of life.
You can view some examples of this through Hope Stories.
One of our community-focussed initiatives is Empower Psychology & Counselling (EPC).
EPC is an affordable mental health service with Christian psychologists and counsellors.
