Assessment

Manna Church Stafford/Quantico is a campus of a larger church planting network that meets at Brooke Point High School. Their stated mission is 'to glorify God by equipping His people and by planting churches with same vision.' Multi-site model and lack of visible doctrinal statement warrant investigation. Could be solid or could be shallow — visit to evaluate.
