Mission and Vision
Our Mission
To multiply dangerous men in and through our churches.
Our Vision
To fuel a statewide network of dangerous men in and through our churches who so treasure Christ as Leader in their hearts that they are willing to risk anything to follow Him.
Scriptural Under-pinning
"… imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. 25) Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26) on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure." 2 Corinthians 11:23b-27
Why would Paul expose himself over and over to danger, even at the end of his life when men are usually motivated by security and comfort? Why would he keep taking risks?

- First, he was committed at the core of his being to following the
one, safe leader - Jesus. He was committed to following the leadership
of Christ.

- Second, he knew God's mission and calling for his life -- to reach the "Gentiles".
Acts 22:17b: "the Gentiles -- to whom I am sending you …"
- And he became a dangerous man -- willing to incur danger and take captives from Satan's rule.
Acts 22:18 "to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God …"
