To all who are spiritually weary and seek rest: to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and desire victory; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to whosoever will come, this church opens her doors wide and offers welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
