The Gospel Commission
Because Jesus has been given all authority, he instructs His followers to make disciples both in our city and all over the world (Matt. 28:18-20). Our aim as a church is to identify where God has purposefully placed us, and how can we share the good news of Jesus with those around us. Below are local, like-minded organizations that we pray for and partner with in the work of mission.
Local Missions
YOUTH LIFE FOUNDATION OF RICHMOND
The Youth Life Foundation of Richmond is committed to nurturing the child, strengthening the family, and rebuilding the community. They believe that early support for children helps to ensure their successful future.
EAST END PREGNANCY CENTER
The EEPC partners with local women to help them decide their options in pregnancy. They offer private consultation, counseling, classes, material support, and other community referrals in order to ensure they will be supported in the decisions they make.
