Global Outreach

Our Mission

As you may know, our mission statement is “We exist to glorify God, by building a community of believers who are actively committed to knowing, applying, and proclaiming the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” The central focus of that mission statement is that all we are doing is driven by the Gospel as it is revealed in the Word of God. To that end, through the years, we have taken up the role of training both men and women to grow in their ability to be careful handlers of the Word of God by teaching the principles developed by Dick Lucas and refined by David Helm through the Charles Simeon Trust.

Not only have we hosted workshops at our church for both men and women, but we have also implemented these workshops with our ministry partners on the mission field.

So, why are we using the Charles Simeon Trust as a tool?

Well, the above video will help to communicate the vision that we have to see our church family grow in living out the Gospel by learning how to handle the Word of God with care. This tool is certainly important for our Elders who have the great responsibility to shepherd and guide God’s flock through the ministry of the Word, but it is not limited to them. 

In fact, the principles taught at the Simeon Trust Workshops are essential for any and all who have a teaching role. So, that includes those who are teachers of children and youthin our church. It includes those who lead various ministries, i.e., Men’s Ministry and Women’s Ministry. It also includes anyone who might be leading a small group or doing one-on-one ministry. Finally, it is a tool for parents and individualswho want to grow in their personal Bible Study. If we are not careful in handling the Word of God, then our understanding of Who God is and How God works in our lives will be fuzzy and likely shaped by the faulty ideas of the culture.

Please pray for our future opportunities in Europe and India.

Denmark 2026

We are excited about opportunities to minister in Europe by teaching local pastors how to study the Bible. We ask for your prayers as we prepare to equip these leaders, who are essential in growing churches and sharing the Gospel in their communities. Your prayers enable us to travel and teach. Thank you for your partnership in building up the Body of Christ and for reaching the world where God has given us the opportunity.

India 2026

We are excited about future opportunities to minister in India by training local pastors and Christian workers in biblical life, leadership, and discipleship. We ask for your prayers as we prepare to equip these leaders, who are essential in growing churches and sharing the Gospel in their communities, where 98% of the 1.4 billion people don't follow Jesus. There is a great need for training in India, as many pastors have little education or formal training. The Indian church has been weakened by a lack of emphasis on faithful preaching and teaching, but this trend is changing for the better. Equipping pastors with a bi-vocational approach can also help them expand their service to their communities.
