MISSIONS

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations”

Matthew 28:19

The proclamation of the Gospel is imperative, and our heart is to take God's command to "go and make disciples" so that we see lives transformed by the message of the Gospel.  That Good News accompanied by the great need of those around us leads to ministry opportunities that span from local community involvement to projects around the country and our world. Pray about how God can use you and come join us in what God is doing through our ministries!
