“I desire Boston Square Church and its neighborhood to grow in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and his unfailing love for us. I truly want us to be amazed at God’s splendor, to be astounded at the power of the Holy Spirit, and to be surprised by what God accomplishes through us. I want us to find comfort and assurance in the promises that God makes to us and to find healing where there is brokenness. My hope is that we are faithful in fulfilling the call God has given us here and now to be a source of light in the Boston Square neighborhood.”
