Raleigh Avenue
Founded in 1956 when two small congregations joined hands for the sake of the gospel. As we near our 70th anniversary, we are more committed than ever to loving our neighbors and making disciples.
Our Mission?
It’s simple:
We make disciples.
“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’”
Matthew 28:18-20
