Ezekiel
33:6 “But if the watchman sees the sword coming
and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not
warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them,
he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will
require from the watchman’s hand.” |

We
believe that strong marriages build strong families,
which builds a strong church.
We also strive to illustrate a positive image and the
importance of the covenant we made with God and our
mates. We pray that this ministry will not only be a
blessing to your marriage but that your testimony will
strengthen the marriage bonds of other relationships.
There are classes, outings and retreats utilized to
build this "God Idea" of marriage. Join us.

Greater
Imani is founded on the principle of the "teaching
ministry." We believe that all of our members should
always be in a state of progressive spiritual improvement,
constantly advancing in the divine life for the "perfecting
of the saints." Our Christian education department
is committed to professionalism and excellence in teaching
the best in materials and curriculum. Our zeal of God
must be according to knowledge. To that end, Greater
Imani offers Orientation Classes for all new members
and is open to any visitors or long-time members who
would like additional information about the church.
These orientation classes are for anyone interested
in learning about opportunities to serve, as well as
information about all areas of the church and its history.
The sessions are taught in four-week intervals on Wednesday
nights beginning at 6:00pm.
We are a large church family, but we are a loving church
family. We don't want our new members to get that "lost"
feeling here. Our goal is to bring every new member
together to share love and minister to all their spiritual
needs. |
