The reach of the gospel message—and the new life it promises—cannot be localized to specific or individual churches. It was never meant to be. Rather, and in harmony with Christ's two-fold commission (see Matt 28.19-20 and Acts 1.8), the spreading of the gospel and the advancement of God's kingdom begins locally and extends outward—"even to the remotest part of the earth" (Acts 1.8). We are committed not only to this commission but also its approach. Thus, our Missions and Outreach ministry is focused on meeting the needs of those Here (our local communities), Near (our country), and Far (our world).
