It's not easy, but it's simple.

What in the world is God doing, and why do we exist, and for what?


Because humanity was made in the image of God to share fellowship with the Good Creator, and because of our rebellion by listening to the word of the Enemy instead of the Word of the Creator, we believe God has graciously launched a mission through the promise plan of His Word to reclaim the nations from the power of hell’s darkness to the kingdom of the beloved Son again to enjoy Him forever. 


He has invited each person back to Him through the gift of the good news of His Son and all who give themselves over in faith to this Gospel of the incarnate, perfect, crucified, risen, and enthroned Jesus of Nazareth are mercifully reclaimed to follow His person and pattern as a disciple. 


Therefore He has made a Church who embodies His Son for His mission to make disciples as they prayerfully and patiently speak God’s truth and grace by the Spirit to the nations through engaging, evangelizing, baptizing, and equipping disciples to obediently do the same. 


Any redeemed sinners speaking God’s Word by the Holy Spirit in small or big ways, formally or informally, are part of the mission to make disciples for the sake of His Kingdom. 


This powerful reclamation mission to make disciples of the risen enthroned returning King happens anywhere people speak God’s truth in love to plant or water and trust the Spirit prayerfully with the growth. 



“The eternal purpose of God is to call out from every kindred, tongue, people, and nation, a multitude redeemed by the blood of His Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world, over whom He will crown His Son, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, King of kings and Lord of lords forever.


This is the passion of the heart of God that cannot be quenched, the obsession of His mind that cannot be denied, the vision of His eye that cannot grow dim, and the destination to which He has committed His omnipotent, immutable, eternal being: a destination He will not abandon.”


-Darrell Champlin (d.2015) Missionary Statesman, Zaire, Africa & Suriname, South America
