Missions

We are a community of faith driven by a passion to spread the gospel. Our origins are rooted in the great commission, and we take pride in being a church that works to serve as a beacon of hope in a dark world.

The Church is God’s plan for reaching the nations by seeking to make more disciples who will make more disciples. This is why we sow the seeds of the gospel indiscriminately knowing that with every new convert, the local church becomes better equipped and more influential in reaching this generation with the gospel.

This is our calling, purpose, and mission so we must keep asking ourselves:

·   How can we invest our time, treasures, and talents in missions?

·   Where do we have the opportunity and resources to put boots on the ground?

·   What can we do as a church to engage our youth in the cause of missions?

·   Who and how can we partner with others in this glorious cause?

The church is God’s instrument through which He accomplishes His mission. It is not an underground railroad nor a humanitarian, philanthropic organization. The church is the body of Christ consciously and explicitly participating in the work of establishing Christ's reign. It promotes heaven’s government and is under the command of our monarch King Jesus existing as a foreign embassy on earth announcing Christ’s claim upon the nations and His soon coming kingdom.

It all begins with the unwavering conviction that faith determines destiny.
