Our Vision
To be an epistle (letter) sent by Christ (2 Cor 3:2-3) – an expression of the personality, character and gifting of Jesus to the city of Abu Dhabi, the nation of the UAE and the nations of the world he calls us into
A place of order, freedom & safety where people can grow into all that God has called them to be, through his word and the ministry of his Holy Spirit in his church – a worshipping community, a grace community, a healing community, an apostolic prophetic community, a powerful community
