SERVE THE WORLD
We are a mission-minded church that motivates and mobilizes the body of Christ to align their hearts with the completion of the great commission. Our desire as a church is to help equip disciples who then become apostles for our Lord Jesus Christ. We live out the love of Christ in our lives, serve where there is need, and grow as a united body that submits our lives to the authority of Jesus Christ; both locally and globally we live on mission.

Our volunteers drive them to the airport and get them to their gates and through security. Most of our guests have never seen an airport as grand as Sky Harbor. We always need Spanish speaking help but have started receiving guests from all over the world. We need gently used sneakers as well as ladies & gentlemen S,M & L clothing.
