Following the commandment of Jesus that we love one another as he has loved us, we minister to those seeking spiritual and intellectual growth, the sick, the imprisoned, and those in need of food, clothing, shelter, and the bond of fellowship.
We seek to help those in need in three ways: Through our St. Gabriel originated ministries; through Partnership Ministries where we support outside agencies financially and with time and talent; and through our partnership with 3eMcKInney where we coordinate our efforts with other churches through 3e to leverage our impact on the need.
