LOCAL
What is local?
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,” and “your neighbor as yourself.” –Luke 10:27
The summary of the church’s role here on earth is to love God with your everything and love your neighbor as yourself. LOCAL is committed to living out this commandment by partnering with ministries within our community focused on serving the needs of our neighbors and who share the same mission into making Phoenix feel a little more like heaven.
