Church planting
Imagine your spiritual growth with your church. Asking someone to grow without a church would be like asking a child to grow without food. The local church is our primary concern because it is both our starting point and our objective measure of success. From our sending churches to planting churches that become sending churches, we seek to see the Bride of Christ reach the uttermost parts of the earth.
