OUR VISION
The vision of greater love is to make the reality of God's existence through worship, building community and exhibiting a lifestyle that gives him all the glory and honor.
At Greater Love we stand on the belief that ministry must not only reach in but reach out and reaching out. In reaching out, we find a need and meet it; we find a hurt and heal it.
As a result of our belief of in-reach and out-reach, we will make Durham other surrounding communities and the world, a better place to live by winning souls, healing the broken hearted and providing hope to the hopeless.
We at greater love will educate, inspire, and motivate people to do well spiritually, physically, and economically for their families, their church and themselves.
OUR MISSION
To glorify God. Our mode of worship should be and attempt to glorify our Lord and respond to the leading of the spirit to fulfill God's will for our congregation at this time.
To edify believers. Our activity of Christian education preaching of God's word and fellowship are germane to growth stability and viability of a believer.
To evangelize the word. Our church effectively assaults the evil sin poverty and violence by winning people to Jesus.
