We believe that we are called, as a church, to bring people to maturity as faithful followers of Jesus Christ.  A disciple will have a heart for worship, a heart for learning, and a heart that drives him or her to be engaged with the people of the world so that they, too, might know the love of the Father, experience that love in tangible ways, and be drawn to bow in worship before Him who alone is worthy of all praise.  That is the goal of missions:  to gather worshippers of the Father.
