Church as Neighborhood Center (CaN)

The measure of one act of service is incalculable in the world today. The difference a smile can make in a person's life that is hurting. Christian Center exists to make a difference, not to flaunt our faith, but to share it the way Jesus would and did.

And then he told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere." 

Mark 16:15 (NLT)
