• Connecting people to an abundant life with Jesus Christ and preparing them for His return

Church Growth and Evangelism Department
"Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Savior mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, 'Follow Me'" (Ministry of Healing, p. 143).

There must be a wider reaching forth to work for those who are nigh and those who are afar off.

Evangelism page 46

His work is to go forward in cities and towns and villages….We must get away from our smallness and make larger plans.

Evangelism page 46

We are altogether too narrow in our plans. We need to be broader minded. God wants us to carry out in our work for Him the principles of truth and righteousness.

Seed Conference

We have three main initiatives to help facilitate Church Growth and Evangelism

Revitalization Residency: We believe this is more effective for leader development and helping the churches get started on the journey to become a more healthy biblical church.

Church Revitalization

A healthy church plant consists of a leadership team establishing a new mission-focused group that ministers to its community, creating opportunities for God to grow His kingdom.

Church Planting

This is the evangelism strategy Jesus laid out for us in Matt 28:19-20. It is also the foundation of our other two initiatives. Jesus wants us to make disciples that make disciples.

Disciple Making (TBA)
