I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

ONWARD we go, pilgrims of God! The South giveth up, and the great Northland; The hordes of the East and the West unite; From the peaceful plains and the mountain slopes, The faithful hear and onward go.

Poem
