Sending
In the early 1990s the Lord began to stir awaken us more intently to focus on getting the Gospel to unreached people groups (UPGs). We adopted one such group and began to pray for them and Christian workers who live among them. We also began to pray that God would raise up workers from among our own membership who who "go to hard places to make Jesus Christ known." Within a few years we sent one of our deacons and his family to live with them. Over several years many became believers and were formed into the first church among this people.
We have since sent another deacon and his family who work among Central Asian and other refugees in Greece. They also have been involved in planting a church comprised of new believers.
In January, 2009 we sent another member to one of the most dangerous places in Central Asia to live and work among another UPG.
While Central Asia has been our focus, we have also been involved in spreading the Gospel in other parts of the world. In 2001 we sent one of our elders and his family to serve among an UPG in Paraguay. We have also sent members to minister on a short-term basis in Mexico, Greece, Romania, Brazil, China, Peru, Portugal, Guyana, Antigua, Zambia, South Africa and Indonesia.
The Spanish sermons of Pastor Gonzalez are watched and heard by people from over a dozen Latin American countries.
In addition to all this, we are in regular contact with missionaries and indigenous pastors in dozens of nations.

The PLNTD Network
PLNTD is a decentralized network focused on establishing and multiplying confessional church-planting churches. We seek to do this through providing rich resources, intentional relationships, and accessible church-based ministries, including assessment, training and coaching. It is our firm conviction that to fulfill the Great Commission inherently means that we must embrace the call to plant churches, and no one else is given that stewardship more than the local church.
The Gospel
When Jesus asked the question, "Who do you say that I am?" He was asking a question that we all have to answer. As Christians, we have one message to believe and one message to tell--the gospel of Jesus Christ. What God has accomplished for sinners through His Son Jesus Christ in His life, death, and resurrection is not only central to who we are but sufficient for all that we do. If you have never heard of this gospel, we encourage you to consider the two ways to live. In this presentation, you will understand who God is, what He has done, and why it is absolutely necessary for you to turn to Jesus and trust in Him.
What to Expect
When you come to one of our meetings expect to be greeted and welcomed by people just like you.
