In Matthew 16: 18, Christ said He would build His church and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. Our desire is to humbly seek His kingdom first as we take advantage of the incredible privilege to labor for Him.
A number of key principles guide our missions program.
1. Our own church must grow ever stronger as a basis for expansion of our missions outreach. Our missions emphasis will thrive best as an outgrowth of the health and growth here at home.
2. We desire to reach a spectrum of people-groups and participate in a variety of ministries with a concentration on church planting.
3. We desire to maintain a balance of foreign and home missionaries.
4. Our missionaries are a vital part of our church family. They are accountable to the Lord and to us to be effective. We are accountable to them to read their letters, know them, pray for them, attend to their needs and communicate with them.
It is our prayer that God would use us in a mighty way to accomplish His will. As He directs, we will by faith attempt great things for God and expect great things from God.
