Welcome to The ALtAR

 

Welcome to ALtAR Community Church

 

​

Vision

​

Our vision is to embody the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, welcoming the spiritually or physically tired, poor, and homeless into a loving community. We strive to create a culture where everyone feels valued, fostering a sense of family and belonging as described in Psalm 86:5 God sets the lonely in families.

 

Mission

​

Our mission is to meet the needs of our community—body, soul, and spirit—while nurturing the potential in every person and guiding them towards their God-given purpose. Inspired by Matthew 28:18-20, we commit to making disciples of all nations, teaching and baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Upholding the principles of James 1:27 and Matthew 25:35-36, we dedicate ourselves to caring for orphans, widows, and all those in distress, ensuring no one is left behind.
