Church of Christ
Our DNA
"For this is the word of the Lord who made the heavens; He is God; the maker and designer of the earth;
who made it not to be a waste, but as a living-place for man: I am the Lord, and there is no other" - Isaiah 45:18
WHY
WHERE
We exist to:
Make disciples who make disciples
that plant churches that plant churches
that equip and empower everyone to live life by God’s gospel design
So that:
We Transform lives, Renew cities and Heal the world
Until the knowledge of the glory of the LORD fills the earth. (Habakkuk 2:14)
Ultimately, we see a sprawling and spawning network of Rev 7:9-12 churches
Healing and making whole, renewing and reuniting a fractured and fragmented world
Until the knowledge of the glory of the LORD fills the earth. (Habakkuk 2:14)
