MISSIONS
We Are Ambassadors For Christ
We believe that God has given the church a great commission to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. As ambassadors of Christ we must use all available means to evangelize local and foreign nations and not wait for them to come to us. (Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8; II Cor. 5:20)
Faith Promise Missions
Each year the church has a Faith Promise Missions program. This amount above the tithe goes to support different missionaries and ministries around the world. The program starts every year at the end of the annual Missions Conference where missionaries come from around the world to present their burden.
