Send

What do we mean by being a “sending church”? A sending church is one that raises up leaders to such a high level that they are being called and commissioned by God to continue the work of the ministry beyond their local church — in essence “going into all the world.”

SENDING OUT LEADERS

Fathers and mothers give birth to new life! We desire to raise up quality leaders of character, integrity, filled with the wisdom of God's word, and the empowering Spirit of God to be unleashed into a world that desperately needs to know the hope of the Gospel message.

"In Viral Churches, Ed Stetzer and Warren Bird shared research from an interview of senior pastors in various denominations in the United States. In that research project, they discovered that 28% of those they surveyed indicated that they had directly participated in helping a new church. While that number may sound good, upon further investigation, they discovered that only 12% of that 28% were actually churches that acted as a mother church or accepted direct financial responsibility for a new church as a primary sponsor."
