Missions

"God is a missionary God.  The Bible is a missionary book.  The gospel is a missionary message.  The church is a missionary institution.  And when the church ceases to be missionary minded, it has denied its faith and betrayed its trust." 
                        J. Herbert Kane, The Making of a Missionary, p.1

Scripture commands Christians to take the Gospel to the corners of the world.  (Mark 16:15 "And then He told them, go into all the world and preach the good news to everyone, everywhere.)  The purpose of our missions program is to challenge our people to answer the call to the mission field, to generate prayer support and to provide ample financial support to send and keep missionaries on the field.

Our missions budget is based on pledges made at the Missions Conference through the "Faith Promise" system.
