Outreach Events

Greetings in the wonderful name of the Lord Jesus Christ! The mission of the Outreach Department is to set the stage for a great apostolic revival in our church and our community. Our goal and vision is to establish and equip people and ministries that will work together as the Body of Christ in unity, shared vision, and sacrifice to sustain the revival that God desires to send to our church. We labor to fulfill the Great Commission: to go “…into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”(Mark 16:15), to “… teach all nations.” (Matthew 28:19). Along with the Lord’s commandment for us to “pray … that he will send forth laborers into His harvest”(Matthew 9:38), we want to do our part by allowing God to use us “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:12)

Shortly after my wife and I accepted the responsibility of directing the Outreach Department, it was evident that the goal and the labor of this department consisted in the following: To Gather, To Ground, To Equip and To Send Out. The Lord strongly impressed upon us that without a structure in place, or a “base” that would be able to receive and sustain revival, God would not send us the revival that we all so desperately want to see. Therefore we have been working diligently to establish this base of various resources, information systems, and “teams” of dedicated individual and ministries to be ready to accept and most importantly keep the influx of souls that God desires to send to our church. We would like to briefly introduce you to what the Outreach Department is doing and how you can get involved.
