Missions & Evangelism

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 1:8

Being a disciple of Christ, Discipling others in Christ and being a witness of Christ in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth, is the mission of every believer. We are to impact others for Christ in real and tangible ways. The Gospel message, food, shelter, clothing, healthcare and safety are some of the broad categories of service we should be doing to help fulfill even more scripture that Jesus emphasized.

The Immanuel Plan

Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the outer parts of the earth

We are to be witnesses to these four parts, our town/community, our State, our Providence and our World. During our travels we will encounter needs which will reach into all of these areas.

Local, State, National and Global Missions

Over a one year period of time, we designate missions monthly that fall into these categories. Local Missions, State Missions, National Missions and International or Global Missions. We seek to create a balance in these areas and to also proclaim the Gospel Message in the same manner.
