A Plan For The Future

Fulfilling the Great Commission


In the 21st century, the Church must prioritize our Father’s Business. Our primary focus should be the Great Commission, where the church equips the Saints to spread the Gospel. We must approach this task with heightened awareness and utilize every possible means to teach both the lost and the saved to emulate Christ. To meet this pressing demand for humanity, we must modernize our teachings, thoughts, and techniques.

Our ultimate goal, which we call the Healthy Church, is to prepare all our parishioners for Christ’s return. We ardently desire this, and as part of our vision, we aim to establish an effective laymen’s movement. This movement will empower the Saints and new converts to testify for Christ effectively. As we prioritize the Kingdom, Jesus has assured us that He will provide everything we need to enhance His work here on Earth.
