Making Room for God's Family 为神的家庭腾出空间
The gospel announces that God, by grace, is gathering a people for himself. In purchasing the property next door, we are making room for the family God is already growing among us. It will be a place where those exploring faith can know Jesus, where God's people can grow in maturity, and from which we can go and serve Christ and make Him known to the world. 福音宣告，神以恩典为自己聚集子民。通过购买隔壁的房产，我们正在为神在我们中间成长的家庭腾出空间。这将是一个让探索信仰的人认识耶稣的地方，让神的子民在成熟中成长的地方，也是我们出去服侍基督并向世界传扬他的地方。
We need your help! Would you be willing to partner with us? 我们需要您的帮助！您愿意与我们同工吗？
