Theme & Scripture

Believing, Being & Becoming

First For Christ & Second To None

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written,

I believe and therefore have spoken, we also believe therefore speak

2 Corinthians 4:13

We as members

of the Second Episcopal District have identified ourselves as

First for Christ & Second To None

However, saying it means practically nothing 

Unless we believe it.

Saying that we are requires action.  We must be it. Talking and acting like we are with one goal

And that is to fully become it

First for Christ & Second to None

Let’s Work Together

Get in touch so we can start working together.
