we are convinced of this

Every disciple makes a disciple, the church planted, plants a church.

This is urgent, imperative, possible and empowered by the work of the Holy Spirit.  This is our hope-filled urgency and joy among the people of God.

in short

We want to love Jesus like crazy, making much of Him in our lives as we make disciples that make disciples and plant churches that plant churches.
