Why Do we do what we do?
To Cultivate a culture of care for the constantly growing Center of Praise Ministries. We train church leaders to provide excellent care for our members and community using a team approach that empowers pastors, deacons and ministers to work together to support the congregation and community.

How do we serve?
1. With Excellence
2. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and in the New Testament, dozens of verses emphasize this point in what’s known as the “one another” verses. For example, we read:
3. “Be at peace with one another” (Mark 9:50)
4. “Bear with and forgive one another” (Col 3:13)
5. “Love one another” (John 13:34)
6. “Serve one another” (Gal 5:13)
7. “Pray for one another” (Jas 5:16)
8. “Especially to those who are of the household of faith” (Gal 6:10).
