All is done under the authority of our commending Assembly, Laurel Bible Chapel of 4445 Laurel Street, San Diego, CA 92105 and local Assembly, Gideon Gospel Chapel, Kildare Buff Bay Portland Jamaica. Our service to the local Assembly includes the Ministry of Music and preaching & teaching of God's Word.

We also engage in food distribution, welfare provision and community advocacy for the poor and unfortunate in direct response to Psalm 41:

1 Blessed is he who considers the poor;
The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive,
And he will be blessed on the earth;

And Proverbs 31:

8 Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die.

9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy.
