CONNECTEDNESS

So we, being many, are one body, in Christ, and every one members one of another.” –Romans 12:5 

Throughout our synod there are many good ministries going on serving God’s kingdom. All these ministries are being done with our brothers and sisters in Christ to make up the one body in Christ and the one work in Christ…sharing the Good News!
