Missions Defined: To the believer missions means carrying the gospel message to those who have not heard it and trying to win them to Christ especially through a group of selected workers called missionaries, both men and women, and establishing the Church where it has not been established. In simple terms, Missions mean “reaching the unreached with the Gospel.”

Vision Statement: To reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and provide relief for the suffering at home and around the world
