Passionate Discipleship

In recognition of Christ’s call to “go and make disciples of all nations,” God gives us the privilege of discipling the people whom our ministry touches and those who work with us. We proactively invest ourselves in the lives of these people so that they become Disciples of Christ who follow and serve Him, resulting in greater kingdom impact. Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)

People

We act on the conviction that people are created in the image of God, and we understand that the only lasting investment is impacting the lives of people. (1 Peter 2:9)

Partnership
