Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others. - Philippians 2:3-4
All are welcome! We meet the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm at King of kings. If you have outreach ministry ideas, questions, or would like to join please contact us at: koklcgwoh@gmail.com
