Born of the conviction that the Christian Message is essential to the individual and to society, the ministry of our Church is as deep and wide and high as the love of God.  No problems are too small for its concern; no barriers too great, no distances too vast.  Throught its members it reaches around the world in missinary endeavors.  Through its program it touches the lives of little children, the aged and infirm, the sick in body and soul, the lonely and the harried, the busy and the bored.  Holding aloft the Cross of Christ it points man to God and interprets the "old, old story" to contemporary life.  Here is a family of faith, united in conviction and motivated by love.
