The kingdom expands through church multiplication. Local churches are the only divinely authorized agents for missionary work[1].
Our vision is to be a church dedicated to the proclamation of the gospel throughout the world[2]. Our aim is to make disciples of the nations and establish worshipping communities like our own[3]. Our evangelism is joyous proclamation: we announce the victory of Christ over His enemies and the rescue of His people[4]. By this means, we seek to bring every area of life under the Lordship of Christ[5]. We proclaim that His victory will be complete when the nations bow before Him and every sphere of life demonstrates His Lordship[6]. This will happen before the resurrection of our physical bodies[7]. We desire to evangelize with this assurance of success, an assurance based on Jesus’ statement of His possession of all authority and His continued presence with us[8].
