“We exist to spread…”
The foreign missions work and outreach ministries of our church aim to glorify Jesus by gathering more and more worshipers. They are all built on the reality that outreach is not the ultimate mission, nor the primary end of our church. Worship is. Foreign missions and outreach ministries exist because worship doesn't. In other words, outreach ministries and missions work is the means to glorifying God by more and more worship.
In accord with Jesus' command to the disciples, "...you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth..." (Acts 1:8), we labor and pray in outreach near and far. We pray for grace in local Neighborhood and College ministry, aim to plant churches throughout the United States, and desire to send and support our missionaries even to the unreached peoples of the world through our Foreign Missions Committee. And in accord with the promise to the disciples we do so in utter reliance upon the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) and promise of Christ "...behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20).
