A CHURCH BUILT ON CHRIST,
IS A CHURCH BUILT TO LAST
Our mission as a church is to be built on Christ. He is the solid foundation that lasts. Everything we are and everything we do flows from Jesus — His saving grace, His lordship, and His example of love and truth. When Christ is our center, our worship is authentic, our community is life-giving, our discipleship is transformative, and our outreach on Long Island has eternal impact. Here is the church we are called to be:
Romans 1:16 NIV

Colossians 1:18 – 20 NIV
18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
