Matthew 28:19

Our church mission plan comes out of Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”  
Our church family is sent out to serve our brother and sisters at the local, national and international stages.
