Our Mission
We envision a mission focused church, enabled by the Holy Spirit to fulfill our unique role in completing the Great Commission, through the equipping of laborers, intercessory prayer, strategic partnerships, sending and supporting of short, mid and long-term missionaries in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the remotest parts of the earth.
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
Romans 10:13-15
