We are committed to any endeavour outside our local congregation to a different cultural group or sub-culture, both overseas and in the UK, to fulfil the Great Commission of Jesus by proclaiming the gospel of Christ, making disciples, planting churches, aiding in their growth and relating to the whole need of mankind, both spiritual and physical.
