Ministry – equipping individuals for service.

Developmental Ministry – recruit young adults with academic inadequacies & provide vocational training through craftsmen both active and retired
Golden Age Ministry – aid the elderly in proper nutrition, exercise; adopt a grandparent, housing, Bible study, etc.
Fishers of Men Ministry – evangelism and disciple making.
