Our intent with the SALUTE ministry is to provide support for the military and their families. 

Sacrifices have been made defending and serving our country. We want to honor and serve them by providing services that encourage them to go forward. 


I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
— 2 Timothy 4:7
