OUR PURPOSE

Igniting disciple making movements among the least reached and unreached until there is no place left without the gospel.

All around the world Gospel movements are taking place where people pray like God has to move and act like He wants to.

Movement is never characterized solely by an influx of activity by leaders, but rather movement is born out of the steady Spirit-empowered obedience of the whole church. Leaders then are given to the church for the purpose of modeling and equipping believers for obedience to the Great Commission. Movement is the supernatural outcome of the participation of the whole church in the mission of God.

Come join us as we discuss how to get the entire Bride involved in the mission of Christ.

OUR MISSION

We exist to glorify the King by mobilizing, equipping, and deploying followers of Christ into the world’s hardest to reach places and people groups.

CONVICTIONS
