All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded You; and lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV

Purpose of Outreach

In addition to worshiping God and edifying the Saints, the local church is to be the "pillar and ground of the truth" (I Timothy 3:15). This means holding out to the world the message of God's coming judgement and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We strive to do this directly in our local community and, through relationships with our Ministry Partners, in other places around the world.

Why Ministry Partners?

​We use the term "ministry partner" to remind us and our missionaries of the partnership we have together in proclaiming Christ and Him crucified. It speaks of the share we have in the responsibility and in the reward.

Annual Commitment

Once a year, we set aside one month--typically September--to focus on what God is doing in and through our Ministry Partners. We then translate these updates into yearly commitments of prayer and financial support, as the Lord leads each believer.
