The climate of our local church can best be described as a group of moderate young believers. At this stage of growth the majority are excited about the Lord as they have witnessed the changes in their own lives and attitudes and also as we have seen a very abundant provision from God for our church.

Although many are young believers there is an excitement to witness and reach out to their surrounding community, but for many, their primary concern at present, seems to be their own foundational establishment of the Lord and His Word in their lives.

Our vision as a local church has been to establish the first Christian Church on our Indian reservation and to train disciples in the priciples of God's Word. We have endeavored to present the Gospel in a culturally relevant way such as including our Native instruments and language in worship, and exhorting the believers to fully experience their culture through Jesus Christ.

Our future vision for the church includes incorporating the Gospel into all aspects of community life, as God places believers in positions of tribal government, areas of education, tribal employees, and socially as members of the community. we are praying for youth in the church to particiate in leading worship and playing instruments. To raise up lay leaders to accept responsibility in the church as a growing, living, organism.
